Single Headers

How to create tables that have a single header row.

Simply make sure your table contains a thead element and supply the column option attributes on the last tr elements cells. As per all static tables the rows are parsed directly from the tables tr elements using the current columns and individual cell options.

Notes

  • No data-title attributes are supplied except for the "Date of Birth" column, the rest are parsed from the cells text values.
  • No columns supply a data-name attribute so a parsed row objects properties would be named "col1", "col2", etc.

By default the showHeader options is set to true so you only need to supply the columns and rows options so the plugin can generate the table correctly.

Notes

  • In the below example row options are supplied with the first row to specify that it should be expanded by default if any columns are hidden.
  • All columns are supplied a name and title so the plugin can correctly parse the supplied rows and generate the header row.
