jQuery Resizable Columns – a plugin for draggable table columns

[5vforest]

Plugin author here -- my fault for not browser testing, but hey, that's what I'm posting it for in the first place.

Will investigate now :)

EDIT: Now fixed for all major browsers, as far as I can tell :P

Man, that reminded me of the days when you'd design a great website, only to view it in IE a week later and realize that there were purple borders around all your image links. Apparently Chrome for Mac is verrrry lenient when it comes to relative positioning on <th>s.

Anyway, just pushed a quick fix. Sorry Firefox + Opera folk!

edit: Github pages still building :(

Doesn't work.. Chrome on mac. Which browser did you actually tested it on? :P It doesn't look like a good idea to show it to the public before testing it on a few of the most popular browsers... It isn't so hard to do..

The problem is how you phrased it. It should be "Click the column header dividers"

"Click the column headers" implies something will happen when I click on "Username" and nothing does.

I found this online and seems to work fine (except Firefox a possible jquery-css bug)

Thanks for linking. There's still some features that .draggable() doesn't implement that I personally need in my plugin, but it looks like Draggable can take care of creating the handles for us. I'll investigate more later, thanks again!

Works fine for me, cool concept. You should think about what kind of interface affordance makes it clear that the columns are resizable. Also, I tried to resize them not using the table headers at first (just any old spot in the column) and was confused for a while.

Firefox on Mac: No

Chrome and Safari on Mac: Yes

Bonus: IE8 on Win7 (I already had a VM open!): No

Doesn't work in Chrome

Works for me. Are you pulling the headers?

[coherentpony]

Linux? Same here.

Would be cool if you could double-click the column-border to have it auto-size to the contents in the column to the left of the border, comparable to excel.

Works for me (Chrome 27, Windows). Only the headers's borders can be used as handle, or so it seems.

[5vforest]

Only the headers as handles seemed like the expected behavior, based on what I've seen from past plugins and such. Open to other ideas though: https://github.com/dobtco/jquery-resizable-columns/issues

I can resize columns but I cannot drag them with Chrome 28.

Does not work for me on firefox, safari, chrome

Never mind works on firefox, chrome, and safari.

I thought the demo was dragging columns to reorder the layout. . .

Is this supposed to work on iPad (Safari)?
