DynamicTable - turn your HTML table elements into interactive tables

Do you also like the moments when you browse through the code you wrote years ago? I've just had one of these and discovered a tiny JavaScript library which I wrote about five years ago that turns your HTML table elements into interactive tables with sorting, filtering and paging and couple of visual effects as well. A JavaScript library that runs on Firefox 2, IE 6 and other ancient browsers without any external help. No jQuery, Prototype or any other help. I decided to share my excitment with you and so I translated documentation and demo from Czech to English and here it is.

The code can be found on Github and is licensed under the MIT license.

DynamicTable should be fast enough to handle hundreds or thousands of rows. Sorting and filtering is run on a disconnected DOM tree. A quick manual test in the latest Google Chrome and Firefox on my MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 showed that sorting on a table with 2000 rows was instant, a very little slowdown was observable with more than 6000 rows.

There are four default sort functions available at this time (alphanumeric, numbers, czech and english date formats) but new custom sort or even filter function can be added very easily either through an options object passed as the second argument to the DynamicTable constructor function or as a direct extension of DynamicTable.prototype.sortFunctions object and rewrite of DynamicTable.prototype.filterFunction. UI controls added by DynamicTable can be styled in CSS. Please consult the documentation available on Github for more information.
