Read options from html

Newcoma

Hello

Can dataTables read options from the individual table like a classname for example? I want to disable sorting on some columns on individual tables without repeating the

$('.tablesorter-js').dataTable({
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": false },
null,
null,
null,
null
]});

Currently you would need to do the DOM reading yourself and built the columns array as needed. I've been planning on making a plug-in which will do this for years, but never yet got around to it! Perhaps post 1.10... :-)

Ok I will see what I can come up with

This is how I did it

Put the class no-tablesorter-js on the th element you dont want sortable.

var colList = [];
$('.tablesorter-js > thead th').each(function(i){

if (!$(this).hasClass('no-tablesorter-js')) {
colList.push(null);
} else {
colList.push({'bSortable': false });
}
});

$('.tablesorter-js').dataTable({
"aoColumns": colList
});
