Thanks but this was just me messing about trying to set the table background. I’ve tried what you say but the problem remains.

The problem is with the theme itself. I’ve created a simple table on the home page and it turns the background to white also. I neet to turn that function off some how and I expect I’d need to change something via the theme editor.

This must be a flaw in the thenme as the text is defualt white so creating alternating white backgrounds is a silly idea.

Hi

I’ve managed to get the jQuery in the head through the HeadJSloader plugin. It’s made the table dynamic on the main webpage in FireFox but the layout is a little off.

I’m still having problems getting the below to work in the latest Internet Explorer

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.

I don’t know how to solve that. I had a few JavaScript plugins activated. I’ve turned them off now.

Perhaps they have messed things up on my site? To be honest I’m starting to have trouble with a few things. I’m tempted to reinstall wordpress and start from scratch. Though I would prefer not to as it’ll take some time to recreate and I don’t really know how to reinstall.

What do you think would be my best approach?

I appreciate your fast help
Mike

Ah forget the second link, it just downloads the table as a csv for some reason???

Please click instead on the first link and see the part that says “Click here to see the master table for more information”

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for building the short code generator, I have donated. It’s almost there on my site but it seems temperamental.

I like the datatable as it’s dynamic. However it seems to loose this ability if I make any other changes to the page. If I create a new page and save it it works, if I update the page at any point it just shows a static table. I can live with this but it’s not ideal.

Anyway that wasn’t my main problem…
I’ve created a page and it was working fine in Google Chrome but it’s all over the place in Windows Explorer and Firefox. It’s lost all the dynamic search abilities in Explorer and it’s over to the left in firefox making half the table hidden.

I’ve tried changing to a number of different themes but I’m having no joy.

Try opening this in different browsers and you’ll see what I mean

Can you help?

Well thanks for your help and quick replies

Hi

Here’s the url
https://www.bandsforgigs.co.uk/the-band-database

It works on chrome and IE

The code I put up is from: https://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/tablefilter.shtml

as I’m trying to make a table dynamically filterable on 4 columns.

Hi

Thanks for your quick replies. I ended up installing the basic theme to see if it would work on that as I’ve edited mine.

It didn’t. I realised it was a simple case of not working on firefox, or at least my version of firefox (4.0.1). It works on IE and Chrome.

I love the search function. I need the table filterable on 4 criteria though. So in a separate question I’m trying to get a filter grid along the top of a table.

I’m looking at this code…

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
//<![CDATA[
setFilterGrid(“table1”);
//]]>
</script>

Am I on the right tracks? I’m struggling

Thanks again for your help
Mike

Ah it seems it doesn’t work in firefox and that’s the problem

Hi

I can only get the sort function to work using the tablesorter library.

I really want the search and Pagination functions. I’ve changed the library to DataTables+TableTools and tried the defualt DataTables and selected the relevent option in the table editor but nothing works.

If I can get my table workking like the demo table on this site: https://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/
That would be awesome

My theme does have <?php wp_footer(); ?> in the footer right before </body>.

The plugins I have active are:
Fast Secure Contact Form
Contact Form to DB Extension
HeadSpace2
W3 Total Cache
WP-Table Reloaded

Anyone know why This isn’t working?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for your reply.

I’m now using the WP Tables Reloaded plugin. I can’t get this working successfully either
