Elite Zebra Tables (2006)
What it Was
Elite Zebra Tables was a terrible name for a very decent, cross-browser, library-agnostic implementation of sortable, selectable, zebra-tables. The project was featured on many websites, including in the very popular Smashing Magazine.
This project has been abandoned, but you can still find some info and resources on Google.
What I Did
I needed a table which would allow you to dynamically sort items and then select and submit them via a form. It also had to work with (or without) any JavaScript library and be completely skinnable.
I wrote the script from scratch in an extremely unobtrusive style which allowed integration into existing markup and added custom form functionality.
Why You Should Care
This was created before any JavaScript libraries had really matured or gained widespread popularity. It addressed a need in the community and provided a very flexible solution.
