jquery tablesorter changing page


Following the tutorial on this link https://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/beta-testing/example-pager-custom-controls.html#

How is the example able to change page (clicking on the page number) when the link tag itself is empty?

 link           : '<a href="#">{page}</a>', 

I have my previous and next buttons working, but as expected the page number doesn't work. I'm wondering how in the example, the page number is able to work?


Solution

  • The issue was the function below (in JQuery, pager-custom-controls.js) that is supposed to trigger for onclick event, doesn't get triggered for whatever reason I still don't know.

    // pager-control setup
            $pager.on('click', options.currentPage, function() {
                focusOnPager = true;
                var $el = $(this);
                $el
                    .addClass(options.currentClass)
                    .siblings()
                    .removeClass(options.currentClass);
                $table.trigger('pageSet', $el.attr('data-page'));
                return false;
            });
    

    For a workaround, I added a custom onclick function in the (a) tag, and added the code above to my custom onclick function.

    Example:

     link           : '<a href="#" onclick="({page});">{page}</a>', 
    
    function onclick(page) {
      var $el = $('#tableID').find('a[data-page]="' + page + '"');
      $el
        .addClass('current')
        .siblings()
        .removeClass('current');
      $('#tableID').trigger('pageSet', $el.attr('data-page'));
    }
