Is there a way to display the number of selected cells in a table when dragging with the mouse? I have a table set up, and I'd like to create an alert that shows how many cells are selected while dragging. Here is the link to my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kannankds/q35vm6qv/1/
<table style="width:300px" id="mytable">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
</tr>
</table>
