Looking for nice Javascript/jQuery code for displaying large tables

Question

I have an HTML table which may contain thousands of rows (number of columns is not a problem here).

I would like to be able to browse this table easily and be able to do the following:

• Decide how many rows will be presented
• Jump to the next/previous X number of rows
• Scroll the table using the scroll bars to any desired line
• Be able to customize/extend easily this Javascript/jQuery code

Has anyone seen something similar ?

Thank you very much !

Answer 1

You are looking for something like DataTables.

It has the ability to:

• Paginate your table.
• Jump to any page in the pagination.
• It currently cannot be scrolled to the desired location however ...
• It is easily extensible both via plugins and through its API.

It can also:

• Filter your table [And allows you to write custom filtering logic]
• Sort by any column or set of columns
• Pull from a multitude of data sources
• Use themes from Jquery UI (Which means it is also easy to roll your own.)

Answer 2

This jQuery plugin might also meet your needs: Tablesorter
