MY Table

Extension for the CI HTML Table class. Overrides the generate function, adding the ability to add widths to the first row of table cells, column-based classes on table cells, and IDs to rows. Using a combination of row IDs and table cell classes, you can target any individual cell in your table.

Feel free to adapt as you need. Your mileage may vary, but it works ok for me. :)

NOTE: if you want to span columns or rows, this extension probably won't help you.

how to use

Build your table normally (see the user guide).

To set widths, create an array of widths and assign them to the table:

$this->table->set_widths($widths_array); 

To set classes for each table cell in the table columns, create an array of classes and assign them to the table:

$this->table->set_classes($classes_array); 

To set IDs for all the table rows, add a 'row_id' => $value to each row of your table data. It will appear as #tr-$value -- i.e., if row_id = 45, it will appear as #tr-45.

$tabledata[] = array('row_id' => $row_id_value, ...);
