• jquery plugin for filtering table rows

This plugin is very light-weight (please look at the source). I consider it finished, and have no plans to add any features. It works quickly for small data sets without consuming any extra memory (that would be needed for faster filtering).

I often use the DataTables plugin when I have greater table needs.

http://silverwareconsulting.com/index.cfm/2008/10/2/jquery-autofiltering-table this is a nice example that ties this plugin with the tablesorter plugin

          var t = $('table')
          $.uiTableFilter( t, phrase )

arguments:

* jQuery object containing table rows
* phrase to search for
  - If the phrase contains spaces it will be broken up into separate words that must all match a row

optional arguments: $.uiTableFilter( t, phrase, column, ifHidden )

* column to limit search too (the column title in the table header)
* ifHidden - callback to execute if one or more elements was hidden

• expects a thead and tbody element
