Sorting Dynamically generated HTML Table

Question

I am generating a dynamic HTML table string and displaying inside a div. I am assigning ID and runat server in that string. eg.

string s="<table id='tblAll' runat='server'></table>".

This string is generated on some different page, and its passed as XmlhttpResponseText

I want to apply sorting on this table, It would be great if any one can help me out. Thanks

Answer 1

You can use jQuery tablesorter plugin

Answer 2

ya but how?? i can not assign the id, as its in string

$("#HTMLTableName").tablesorter();

its not able to find that HTML Table ID

Answer 3

Use the jQuery tablesorter plugin, and instead of selecting the table via it's Id, you can select it via the containing div and a child selector:

$("div#container table").tablesorter();
