Disable Column Sort when Checkbox in Header is Clicked

tcbeaton

I have added a check box in the header to show/hide additional columns of the table. When the check box is clicked, the column is sorted; is there any way to retain the column sort IF the header text is clicked, but NOT when clicking the check box? I've tried placing "return false" in the onClick, but the sort appears to happen prior to the onClick. Thanks for the help. :-)

Try to disable sorting for the column. See the bSortable option here http://www.datatables.net/ref

Hi Ulrike, I ended up moving the show/hide checkbox out of the header. Unfortunately, I couldn't disable sorting, since I needed that feature, as well. Thanks for the suggestion, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
