The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Column cell selector

Submitted by bram.stein on April 16, 2009 - 5:01am

This jQuery plugin adds a new selector to the selector API for retrieving table cells by their column index. It supports tables with column and row spans transparently, no matter how complex a table is. The syntax for selecting column cells is simple and similar to other jQuery selectors. The selector can take several types of arguments for selecting columns, such as keywords, numeric indexes, and equations.
