I'm currently working with a div that contains a table and its data pulled from a database.
<div id="content">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th class="header" colspan="2">Food items include:</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="15" class="fruits">Papaya+salt</td>
<td><p>This includes papaya and salt</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="meat">Baked chicken</td>
<td><p>This includes a chicken thide and kethup</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="1" class="Juices">Strawberry Sting</td>
<td><p>Sugar, color and water</p></td>
</tr>
<table>
</div>
This specific table is found within a page.aspx file.
Below is the code I've implemented to sort the data alphabetically within the table:
OldFunc = window.onload;
window.onload = OnLoad;
function OnLoad(){
try{
var pathName = window.location.pathname.toLowerCase();
if( pathName=="/Resources/Glossary.aspx") {
sort_it();
}
OldFunc();
}
catch(e) {
}
}
function TermDefinition(def_term,def_desc)
{
this.def_term=def_term;
this.def_desc=def_desc;
}
function sort_it()
{
var gloss_list=document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var desc_list=document.getElementsByTagName('td p');
var gloss_defs=[];
var list_length=gloss_list.length;
for(var i=0;i<list_length;i++)
{
gloss_defs[i]=new TermDefinition(gloss_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue,desc_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue);
}
gloss_defs.sort(function(a, b){
var termA=a.def_term.toLocaleUpperCase();
var termB=b.def_term.toLocaleUpperCase();
if (termA < termB)
return -1;
if (termA > termB)
return 1;
return 0;
})
for(var i=0;i<gloss_defs.length;i++)
{
gloss_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue=gloss_defs[i].def_term;
desc_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue=gloss_defs[i].def_desc;
}
}
I believe there may be an issue with the getElementsByTagName function, as it seems like the output is not being manipulated correctly.
