I Have too questions. First I want to sort my data by category’s instead of prices, could you please help me with the code?

Second, I wonder if you have a quick fix to link “Name” to a link in the XML-feed?

When loading XML files locally, e.g. a CD-ROM etc., the data received by Internet Explorer is plain-text, not text/xml. For this reason this parser doesn’t work.

In this case you have to change the mime type as following:

$.ajax({
url: “data.xml”,
dataType: ($.browser.msie) ? “text” : “xml”,
success: function(data){
var xml;
if (typeof data == “string”) {
xml = new ActiveXObject(”Microsoft.XMLDOM”);
xml.async = false;
xml.loadXML(data);
} else {
xml = data;
}
// Returned data available in object “xml”
}
});

another question,

the parser works offline for firefox and safari: how can we use it offline for IE?

thanks!

m.c.

i wounder if you have any tip about a keyword searching through the xml data.

i’m also trying to present 15 or 20 rows for each page. do you know any example i can use?

thank you for any help

You can set the initial sort column within the Tablesorter plugin options. See: http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-option-sort-list.html for details.

I know it is possible that your data could load before the Tablesorter plugin is instantiated which would cause the data to re-sort on load but probably your only options to fix that are to hide the sort table until you know the Tablesorter has run or manually sort the XML.

Fabien again with a question: do you think is it possible to make a sorting by alphabetic when the page is loading?
