Tables are very useful when it comes to looking at information in an organized way. They have an obvious layout which makes them easy to use - usually. But, often with tables on websites, you get just a table. You can not reorganize the table to better view the information you want. And if information needs to be changed... forget it.
Well, not so fast! With modern browsers, some JavaScript, and some PHP on the back-end, you CAN have sortable, re-organizable, editable tables right on your website - think "spreadsheet." Yes, with the right developer creating the right code, you can even have the tables update and recalculate numbers.
The animation here shows a simple table of clients (made up). The company name for one of the clients is being updated.
This is just a simple example for this blog post. As mentioned above, the functionality of an editable table can be like a spreadsheet application. Your website can be more than just a place to display information. It can be an interactive, truly useful application.
