If you haven’t noticed yet, the new White House website debuted today. It has a modern, classy look, similar to the Obama campaign website. The site features a blog; not sure if President Obama himself will be blogging, though. It also looks like the site will host a weekly video address from the President. Looked at the source code, and yes, they are using my favorite, jQuery! Nicely done.

jQuery Tablesorter Plugin

I read about the jQuery Tablesorter Plugin a while back. It seemed cool enough.

tablesorter is a jQuery plugin for turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table without page refreshes. tablesorter can successfully parse and sort many types of data including linked data in a cell.

I didn’t bother to try it out, though. I guess I didn’t really believe that it could work so easily.

Here I am months later, in need of some table sorting. So I went ahead and tried it. And it JUST WORKED. As advertised. I did not have to jump through any configuration hoops. Cross-browser? No problem. Developers, this plugin will save you time. Props to Christian Bach who created this plugin.
