Pager plugin when the main table contains tables in a cell

[cs01lg]

If i have a 'main' table where one column has 'sub' tables in the cell contents

With the pager plugin when choosing the number of rows to display it seem to include the sub tables in the count so end up with too few rows

Thanks, I'll look into this.

I forgot to include a fix in v2.6, but I'll have it done in the next update! Thanks again.

Have you got any tips on how one might fix this now? I have a similar issue; a table is inside the footer. I tried adding the cssInfoBlock class to that table, but this didn't help. Sorting doesn't work for all columns when this bug is present.

I'll have the plugin updated within the hour :)

Hi, thanks for your quick work. You are great. However I think my bug is perhaps separate to this. It's not really related to the pager plugin which I incorrectly read here.

The issu is this; I just downloaded the new zip for this project, and changed the demo table in index.html to contain a section with this:

    <tfoot>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="4">
                <table>
                    <tr><td>test</td><td>test2</td></tr>
                </table>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tfoot>

So you see there is a nested table there. When this happens, the sorting gets messed up (for the first 2 columns). Please try this out and let me know if you can reproduce this (Safari). Thanks.

@wesleyh That is a separate issue. I was about to go to bed, but my OCD kicked in... if you change line #321 from this:

trs = $(t).find('thead:eq(0) tr, tfoot tr'),

to this

trs = $(t).find('thead:eq(0), tfoot').children('tr'),

it'll work properly. I'll include this change in the next update. Thanks!
