  • 0

I am trying to filter table results from Table B by clicking on a field in Table A using jquery. Table B contains all the data from a specific database and Table A just contains one of the fields. For example,

Table A
MFG_Name |Count
Dell | 15
Gateway|10

Clicking on Dell would filter all the results from Table B where MFG_Name = Dell and show them below Table A as follows:

Table B
Inventory_No | MFG_Name | Model_Name | Description
0001          | Dell     |Inspiron    |Desktop
0002          | Dell     |Optiplex    |Desktop

how can I go about doing this? I’ve looked at using plugins that filter tables but my goal is not to have to print Table B until I have filtered it as it could contain 100000+ inventory numbers.

    You could set a click event on table A, extract the text you clicked on and then you this jQuery plugin on table B: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/uiTableFilter

    EDIT
    Wrote a small demo using tableFilter: http://jsfiddle.net/VjdLV/2/
