colspan in column header

[surrealroad]

the first column (in the table's header) in my table has a colspan set to 3, which causes the other columns to sort incorrectly, i.e. trying to sort any column results in the 2nd column before it actually being sorted.

Hey surrealroad, could you paste a snippet of your table html so I can see your issue my side.

Hi surrealroad,

I've created a new branch called Colspan and have made the changes which I think handle the colspans correctly. However I am still testing and fixing any issues as I find them so any feedback is welcome.

There are a two new attributes available for use now, the first is data-names which will accept a comma separated list of names for use in the detail view, one per column wrapped by the colspan.

The sorting plugin was also updated to handle colspans. The second new attribute is used to control which of the columns wrapped by the colspan is used for sorting and is called data-sort-match. The value for this is the zero based index of the column within the colspan. So if you have 3 columns a value of 1 would always sort using the middle column (0, 1, 2) no matter where this group was located within the table.

The data-class attribute will now be applied to all columns in the colspan.

To see these changes working on a table based on your pastebin example take a look at issue21.htm in the root and let me know if you find any issues.

Thanks
Steve

No problem, please take a look and let me know if you find any issues or have any suggestions. As it stands I think this will be moved across to the master if I can't find any problems while testing.

I would also just like to say sorry for the long delay for a response, I had some hardware issues and only got my new PC put together a few days ago.

Thanks
Steve

Merged into master.
