Well... I guess it's like everything else: there are a thousand ways to do anything and what makes them "better" will change depending the need. For pure speed not much is going to improve upon Isaac's single line of code and one DOM change. But it does require some pre-work. There are other ways to do the same thing where the table in question needs no prior set up. One script could accepts a DOM reference to a table and do all the work. It could - just by looping over the DOM - add a link or control to the headers to collapse the columns, add all of the style information needed, all of the event information, etc. This would be more complex, but in the end you'd have a simple-to-use script that could add this functionality to ANY table with a single line of code (and NO manual changes to the table). You could also add in row sorting, cell selection, etc - any features you want. This would definitely be "better" in the sense of being more encapsulated, more portable and more reusable.
