Hello all,
I have a very simple html table with collapsible rows and sorting
capabilities. The collapsible row is hidden with css rule
(display:none). When one clicks in the left of the expandable row, the
hidden row is made visible with css. The problem is when i sort the
rows, the hidden rows get sorted as well which i don't want and want
to be moved (while sorting) relative to their parent rows. The
following is my complete html code with javascript. Just copy the
entire code to new html file and see the problem yourselves. Any
suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. PS: The javascript code
is not written by me, i just plugged them to here.
