// Bugs/Comments: han@velocityhsi.com
//
// Change History:
//
// 11-26-01:
// o Made a few more settings configurable (i.e. data delimiter etc).
// o Added a check for the browser type/version (>= IE 5.0 allowed).
// 11-27-01:
// o Used document.getElementById method to retrieve object
// o Now supports both IE 5.0 or greater and Netscape 6.0 or greater
// 11-28-01:
// o Fixed the status display for Netscape.
// o Fixed the cursor shape for Netscape. Used pointer instead of hand.
// 11-29-01:
// o Fixed a cursor bug for IE 5.5
// 08-02-12:
// o adesso: Fixed sorting of only text nodes, now elements inside the cell are sorted

// sortTable.js
//
// This script contains useful functions that can be used to convert ordinary
// tables into sortable tables by modifying the HTML sources.
//
// Here is how one can do that. The following assumptions are required
// for the tables to be sorted.
//
// 1. All the record columns must be the same lengh. Otherwise (i.e. the ones
// that contain colspan) the rows will be ignored.
//
// 2. Row spans can not happen in the record rows though column spans
// can be one of the record rows.
//
// 3. Row-spanned single column will be considered as title.
//
// To enable the sorting, simply include this javascript source file and
// add an onLoad event to the like below:
//
//
//
// Note that all the tables that need to be sorted MUST contain ID tag.
// So, if they do not exist, you must create one for each table that
// needs to be sorted.
