A new version of this script is available here.

This JavaScript table sorting script is easy to use, fast and lightweight at only 1.7KB. It includes alternate row formatting, header class toggling, auto data type recognition and selective column sorting. It will currently sort strings, numbers and currency. More features will follow.

To initialize sorting use the following code:

var sorter=new table.sorter("sorter");
sorter.init("sorter",1);

You must create a new table sorter object before initialization. The parameter taken by table.sorter is the variable name used for the object. The object.init function takes 2 parameters: the id of the table and the index of the initially sorted column (optional). If you want to exclude a column from sorting then add class=”nosort” to the appropriate table header. The styling of the table is totally customizable via CSS.

This script has been tested in Firefox 2/3, IE 6/7/8, Opera, Safari and Chrome. Please send any bug reports to michael@leigeber.com with the title “BUG REPORT”. This script is available for any personal or commercial projects and is offered AS-IS, no free support provided.

This dynamic JavaScript slideshow is feature packed and under 5KB. It is the long awaited update to my previous script here. A few new features include description support, link support, no naming restrictions, portrait image support, graceful degradation and active thumbnail status. This script was built ground-up and will soon be included at scriptiny where all my scripts will be added as they are updated, debugged and incorporated in the new TINY namespace. I will also document the scripts more thoroughly and publish multiple examples. I will continue to publish scripts there and support as I have time via the new community forum. I will try and post more frequently here on a wide range of web development related topics.

Here is an example of the markup to build a slideshow…

• 
  

  Image One

  
  photos/image-one.jpg
  

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam ut urna. Mauris nulla. Donec nec mauris. Proin nulla dolor, bibendum et, dapibus in, euismod ut, felis.

  Image Two

  
  photos/image-two.jpg
  

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam ut urna. Mauris nulla. Donec nec mauris. Proin nulla dolor, bibendum et, dapibus in, euismod ut, felis.

  
  
  

Each “li” above represents an image. The “h3″ content becomes the title for the image and the “p” the description. The “span” content is the path to the fullsize image. If you want to link the image wrap an “a” tag around the “img” tag which is the thumbnail image.

The following are the parameters that can be set on the object… more complete documentation will follow soon. Default values are displayed as (10) and recommended values as [1-20].

Images

imgSpeed = int; (10)
navOpacity = int; (25)
navHover = int; (70)
letterbox = “string”; (#000) required color for letterbox on portrait images
link = “string”; class name for link hover state

Auto Slideshow

auto = boolean; (false)
speed = int; (10)

Information Dialog

info = boolean; (true)
infoID = “string”; required for information dialog
infoSpeed = int; (10)

Thumbnail Slider

thumbs = “string”; id of thumbnail slider, disabled if not set
scrollSpeed = int; [1-20] (5)
thumbOpacity = int; [0-100] (70)
active = “string”; required for thumbnail active border
spacing = int; (5) spacing between thumbnails
left = “string”; id of left navigation link, required for slider
right = “string”; id of right navigation link, required for slider

Here is an example calling the script…

The init function takes 5 parameters (id of the slideshow content placeholder, the id of the image placeholder, the id of the previous image placeholder, the id of the next image placeholder, the id of the image link placeholder).

This updated accordion script is powerful and lightweight at only 1.4kb. It now includes multi-level support, the option to allow multiple panels to expand concurrently, and a hide/show all toggle. I have reverted the markup to a div based structure to eliminate any validation issues with the definition tables in the previous version. Check back for more posts and scripts soon.

To initialize an accordion use the following code:

var accordion=new TINY.accordion.slider("accordion");
accordion.init("accordion","h3",false,0,"selected");

You must create a new accordion object before initialization. The parameter taken by accordion.slider is the variable name used for the object. The object.init function takes 5 parameters: the id of the accordion “ul”, the header element tag, whether the panels should be expandable independently (optional), the index of the initially expanded section (optional) and the class for the active header (optional).

There is no other JavaScript that needs to be added to the HTML. The init function parses the unordered list and adds the appropriate mouse events to the headings as provided. This has been tested in Firefox 2/3, IE 6/7/8, Opera, Safari and Chrome. Please send any bug reports to michael@leigeber.com with the title “BUG REPORT”. This script is available for any personal or commercial projects. SORRY, NO FREE SUPPORT PROVIDED.

I apologize If I have not responded to emails you may have sent. I get many emails each day and simply do not have time to answer all of them nor can I neglect my paying clients. Please contact me if you are interested in paid support otherwise a support forum will be available very soon for community support.

This updated table sorter script is easy to use and feature packed at only 2.5KB. New features include column highlighting, optional pagination, support for links, and date/link parsing. A few other features are alternate row highlighting, header class toggling, auto data type recognition and selective column sorting. More updates will follow soon.

To initialize a table sorter follow the pattern below:

var sorter = new TINY.table.sorter("sorter");
sorter.head = "head"; //header class name
sorter.asc = "asc"; //ascending header class name
sorter.desc = "desc"; //descending header class name
sorter.even = "evenrow"; //even row class name
sorter.odd = "oddrow"; //odd row class name
sorter.evensel = "evenselected"; //selected column even class
sorter.oddsel = "oddselected"; //selected column odd class
sorter.paginate = true (false); //toggle for pagination logic
sorter.pagesize = 15 (20); //toggle for pagination logic
sorter.currentid = "currentpage"; //current page id
sorter.limitid = "pagelimit"; //page limit id
sorter.init("table",1);

Before initialization, a new table sorter object must be created. The parameter taken by TINY.table.sorter is the variable name used for the object. The object.init function takes 2 parameters: the id of the table and the initially sorted column index (optional). If you want to exclude a column from sorting add class=”nosort” to the appropriate table header. Table styling is completely customizable via the CSS.
