jQuery column selector plugin

Posted on Thursday 16 April 2009

New project time; I mentioned some time ago that I was close to finishing two new projects. Today I finally got around to releasing a new jQuery plugin for selecting table columns. The plugin adds a new selector to the jQuery selector API for retrieving table cells by their column index. It supports tables with column and row spans transparently, no matter how complex a table is. The syntax for selecting column cells is simple and similar to other jQuery selectors, so the learning curve should be very small.
