Filtered wiki tables #

Introduction#

Add a %%table-filter JSPWikiStyle around your table to get EXCEL-like column filters. Each column gets a dropdown with a sorted list of filterable values. Multiple filter selections are supported too.

Usage#

Enclose your table in %%table-filter tags.
Your table is assumed to start with a header row. When all is fine, you should see an additional table row with filter dropdowns for each column.

Implementation#

The implementation was inspired by the work of ~WoutL on http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/filter.asp. Tx for the suggestion by Nascif Abousalh Neto -- 19-Jan-2006

Some rework was done, so it also runs on Safari, and does proper sorting depending on the data type of the column.

Is there anyway to somehow adjust the width of table? I noticed that when I choose to use table-filter, width of the table just explodes. Even %%(width:950px) seem to not help at all.

How can I exclude some columns from filtering?

You can't. When a column contains only 1 value, no filter dropdown will be shown - DF
