Ramesh,

Take a look at http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/. This is a javascript only solution to your question. This saves calls to the server and is very fast.

Hi,

I have following task:
1. An html page with a table of data displayed according to default sorting based on a column data. 2. I should have a collection of html form buttons, one for each above table columns, displayed on the top of this page. The user would click on any of these column buttons. 3. Once any of the buttons is clicked, this same html page should be displayed back but with results sorted as per the chosen column through the button.

I have following questions in this regard:
Q1. I want to know how do I catch the button click response from the user and then call a JavaScript handler using JavaScript.pm module functions? Q2. If we use JavaScript.pm module within .cgi files, how do we convert the Perl data structures into JavaScript?
Q3. Do we still need to install WDDX module or not?

Important. All the above would happen from an initial cgi script and the button click response also should execute from the same cgi script if possible. This is because, I have lot of Perl Hash data structures to store the table data displayed on the html page. I need to use the same data structures for sorting and displaying this data.

If anyone has answers to these questions, please reply immediately.
Thanks in advance .

Regards
Ramesh
