As JazzMeet will be organising jazz gigs and events around the world in MediaWiki's collaborative environment, we will have a lot of HTML tables of data. These may include details such as who is organizing what and who is attending. In large tables, it can be easy to lose focus of the row or column that you were looking at, but we can use JavaScript scripts such as Tablecloth to enhance the visitors' experiences.
Tablecloth (http://cssglobe.com/lab/tablecloth/) is a JavaScript-based feature that highlight the row and column of a table that you are currently hovering over.
The script also assigns a class of .odd
to the odd rows in the table, and .even
to the even rows in the table.
