Ok I dont think this is what im looking for but, you might know how to do what I ma looking for.
ReplyDeleteI need to write (in HTML format) a phone list but i want the phone list to auto sort from "A" - "Z" (so when i get new numbers i dont have to manually find the correct location for this person)
Any idea on how to do this?
Here's a related function to sort an HTML list or element with child nodes (ul, ol, dl, div, etc.) that uses the same idea:
ReplyDeletefunction sortList(listId)
{
var ul = document.getElementById(listId);
arrList = new Array();
j = 0;
for (i=0; i<ul.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (ul.childNodes[i].innerHTML == undefined) continue;
arrList[j] = ul.childNodes[i].innerHTML;
j++;
}
j = 0;
arrList.sort();
for (i=0; i<ul.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (ul.childNodes[i].innerHTML == undefined) continue;
ul.childNodes[i].innerHTML = arrList[j];
j++;
}
}
Thanks Greg!
ReplyDeletecan this be written in css format as well?
