That's a pretty slick interface, but the sliders are really just a UI way to select a filter range. The issue is really two pieces - the core functionality of filtering by multiple columns and criteria, and the UI to enable it. I am nearing completion of my jquery.table.js plugin which will include multi-column filtering ability. It can filter using either an exact value to match, regular expression, or a custom function to call. It's built off my beta version here: http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/table/ This, together with some UI widgets, should allow you to do what you need. I will certainly announce it here when it's ready and I'm seeking feedback. I don't think it would be a good idea to have a single plugin that provides both the core table functionality and various UI widgets for filter selection. They seem best suited for different plugins, IMO. Matt _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
