Is is possible to hide a colum with an html class tag

Nikke

My research on TableSorter plugin shows that I could put the following tag to stop a column being sorted
[code]
My col
[/code]

just wondering if I could do the same for hiding :)
[code]
My col
[/code]

Or am I being silly here? :)

Thanks a bunch!

The TableSorter syntax isn't picked up by DataTables automatically (no reason why a plug-in couldn't be written to do it, but there isn't one as far as I'm aware yet). However, it is possible to target columns with certain classes using DataTables and it's aoColumnDefs option: http://datatables.net/usage/columns . What you could do is have 'hidden' as the class on your TH element and you DataTables init like:

[code]
/* Using aoColumnDefs */
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "bVisible": false, "aTargets": [ "hidden" ] }
] } );
} );
[/code]
