WAKE UP SHEEPLE! The extra-terrestrial menace has come to Earth and we here at ALIENS-R-REAL
have collected all of the eye-witness reports we could to prove it! All we need to do now is put this information online for the world to see and then the matter will finally be put to rest.
There is just one tiny problem though... our collection is too large to search through manually. Even our most dedicated followers are complaining that they are having trouble locating specific reports in this mess.
Code was written that dynamically creates a table based upon a dataset. Users can also filter the table data for specific values. Only only JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and D3.js were used to filter and display the data in the table. They are the only coding languages which can be trusted.
