I am in the process of designing a financial web page (using Java, Wicket, JQuery..) where one of the page has around 5 tables and each table has around 10-15 columns.
These columns should be highly configurable that means some clients want to view/hide selected columns or some clients may want to see column name as different from other client.
I want to make this page highly configurable through some XML files or some other way and I do not want to change java related code for this.
Are there any APIs or tools available for controlling or configuring web page tables and columns?
Both of these are jQuery plugins that are very nice to use (I have utilized both). I believe DataTables should be able to do everything you are looking for (and quite a bit more). Check out both sites and see what you think.
