sortable table for IE?

[jemminger]

hi all,

what's the best way to make a data bound table with sortable column headings for IE?

thanks, =========================================================
if (!succeed) try();

well i've done that with a round trip if that's what u mean.

the column header just posts the sort information to the server page which modifies the SQL query to contain the correct "ORDER BY" clause then the rest of the server side code is the same causing the page to be built with the new ordered rows.

does that help?

don't know how XML is involved in your situation.

jeff, shouldn't your sig be


while(!succeed) try();

?

btw you can use XML to do the same thing.

instead of hitting the db all the time, you can actually use your transform script to insert the column/node you want to sort by as a parameter into the xslt script.

usign some xslt wizardy (actually, xsl:sort) you can then sort on this node. It works for numbers too, u just have to specify this.

I dont have any examples, but trust me it works cause i've done it before.

I'll be happy to try give some examples if you're interested in doing it this way.

thanks matt...

i guess you're right, while(!succeed) try(); would make more sense.

i'll start researching xsl:sort too - thanks for the direction =========================================================
