i have a php page that displays a table from multiple MySQL queries and from their use a JavaScript function to sort the column results, all that works fine, my problem is i need to refresh the results of those queries every 10 seconds or so which works fine(with a meta-refresh), the problem is the refresh after column sorting. when the page refreshes the sorting is reset also. here is a snippet of the sorting function;
<script>
function tablesort(which){ <-----I tried using the $_GET method you suggested
<-----But i get a "missing formal parameter" error
<-----When also using this suggestion and use the
<-----"onclick" i get a "tablesort" is not defined
<-----error
$(document).ready(function(){
if(which == '1.0'){<!--This sorts the pause row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[1,0]]});
}
if(which == '2.1'){<!--This sorts the total dialer row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[2,1]]});
}
if(which == '3.0'){<!--This sorts Wrap-up time row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[3,0]]});
}
if(which == '4.1'){<!--This sorts donation amount row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[4,1]]});
}
if(which == '5.1'){<!--This sorts Up-sale row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[5,1]]});
}
if(which == '6.1'){<!--This sorts the Monthl donation row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[6,1]]});
}
if(which == '7.1'){<!--This sorts the verified sales row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[7,1]]});
}
if(which == '8.1'){<!--This sorts the calles per hour row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[8,1]]});
}
if(which == '9.1'){<!--This sorts the payments per hour row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[9,1]]});
}
if(which == '10.1'){<!--This sorts the average sale row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[10,1]]});
}
if(which == '11.1'){<!--This sorts the sales total row, descending -->
$("#Mtable").tablesorter({sortList: [[11,1]]});
}
});
}
</script>
here are the links that sort the table'
Sort by:
<a onclick="tablesort('1.0')"> Lowest Pause<a/>   
<a onclick="tablesort('2.1')"> Highest Dialer<a/>   
<a onclick="tablesort('3.0')"> Best Wrap-up<a/>   
because of the refresh im wanting to pass the variable data from the onlcick to the URL similar to $_GET so it would would something like and then read into the sorting function;
localhost/dbtabke.php?which=2.1 <----exact URL example being used
any help on how to do that would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
@prabeen giri i have provided the complete function, thanks again
