HTML/Javascript: Make all your tables sortable

In my field of uhmm.. "expertise", it is normal to receive user requirements that are.. excuse me for using the term... "demanding". They would remind me that I (the technology) should always adjust to what they want. And I will probably forever be like, well okay totally can do that! I am a programmer by the way. But no, I'm no geek. Well, a bit, but not like those from (or some place as big as) Google. Those "people" (if they still are) who I admire A LOT. You see, admittedly, I'm a lazy arse. And when I "receive" a certain request, I tend to "Google" than "create" a solution on my own. So imagine the help I get from this bunch of geniuses all over the net! Including this.


MAKE ALL YOUR TABLES SORTABLE by Stuart Langridge.

I am just going to mention a few lines from the article, because yes, my arse really is that lazy.
"
if you saw that table in a client-side application, you'd expect to be able to click on the headers and have the table sort, would you not? I know it always annoys me when you can't. A fair few web applications do allow this; most of them, which are pulling this data by submitting a SQL query to a relational database (an environment eminently suited to tabular data) implement this by resubmitting the whole page with something like ordercolumn=4 in the URL, and then adding an ORDER BY clause to their SQL query to return the data from the DB ordered by the specified column.

Resubmit the page? Just to sort data we already have? I'm sure we can do better than that.

Now, how to use it. To make a table of your choice sortable, there are three steps:
  1. Download the Javascript library
  2. Include the Javascript library, by putting a link to it in the HEAD of your page
  3. Mark your table as a sortable one by giving it a class of "sortable"
"
It was pretty easy, that I was so amazed, that I had to share. Thus this post.
Tadah! And that's it. Let me end this with a quick note to Mr. Langridge.

TO STUART,

THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BRAIN BEHIND OUR LAZY ARSES.
JUST.
THANK YOU.

LOVE, ONE OF THE LAZY ARSES.

torchlight pieces

















For some reason, I feel extra lazy today. Must have something to do with the officemate who just wouldn't stop talking and making jokes about my and my husband's sex life. Pet peeve. Anyway, here is something to turn the tables. Hopefully.

I came upon Torchlight, thanks to Creature Comforts, along with the other featured indie shops. I was happy to find myself in a totally whimsical and lovely state of mind. Their items are full of mystery and wonder, there is no way I can't be pulled in. My favorite would be their Dream Circles Collection. But they also offer Bags & Wallets, Bracelets, Dream Catchers, Earrings, Necklaces, Rings; all in an equally enchanting quality. You may also shop by category: Spring 2014, Alchemist, Inner Mystic, Mountain, Dreaming,Vintage.

kayla chayylielle's baptism: the photo shoot

I almost forgot to share these. I have so much to thank Gail for. He's such a sweetheart. Working with him couldn't be easier, given the fact that both of us (with my husband) are awkward penguins. It's amazing how his camera and composition can capture the "heart" in these moments.

If you're interested to book Gail and his team, visit Foreverydayphoto where you can find more of his works plus info and other tidbits.
