[jQuery] tablesorter -- need help sorting hyperlinks
posting again because I wasn't subscribed to the mailing list before.
So, I have a table that has a few text and date fields, as well as two
hyperlink fields. The hyperlinks are sorting by the url instead of the
description of the link, which is how I would like it to work. I would
think that something like the following would work, code I pulled from an
example on the tablesorter website.
var myTextExtraction = function(node)
{
// extract data from markup and return it
return node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML;
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#myTable").tableSorter( {textExtraction: myTextExtraction} );
}
);
I thought that would work, my cell is two tags deep as in the example this
code is used in. The column looks something like this:
<td> some url description_text </td>
I would like to sort by the "description_text" above.
I also tried adding some code inline like so:
<td class="{textExtraction: function(node) { return
node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML; }}">.....</td>
that didn't work either.
Does anyone know how to sort a hyperlink (a tag) by the description rather
than by the link url itself?
