This is aimed at whoever is currently maintaining the Tablesorter documentation. 2 quick things:
First, at http://tablesorter.com/docs/ there's an example for the textExtraction parameter that says: 1 var myTextExtraction = function(node) 2 { 3 // extract data from markup and return it 4 return node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML; 5 } 6 $(document).ready(function() 7 { 8 $("#myTable").tableSorter( {textExtraction: myTextExtraction} ); 9 } 10 ); I think on line 8 there myTextExtraction should be in quotes ("myTextExtraction"). It seems counterintuitive because that is a variable name, not a string, but I tried it both ways and it only worked for me being quoted (as a string). I haven't delved into the code here to see why this is happening. Second, the same documentation on that page seems to leave out the fact that using the metadata plugin requires the metadata.js. This might seem obvious, but there's widgets (like 'zebra') which don't require extra js includes, and plugins like the Pager, which do, and the Metadata plugin isn't listed under Companion plugins. There's a note about this file at the bottom of the page and you can also figure it out if you look through all of the linked JS files in the metadata examples, but you shouldn't have to look through all the links in the source to know to include the link. It would be great if the maintainer(s) added a note about that. Otherwise, thanks for the great plugin, works like a charm!
