This jQuery plug-in is an add-on for mottie's tablesorter plug-in, more explicitly its pager add-on. It programmatically adds pager controls below a table and applies the pager add-on for large HTML tables, so that you don't have to insert the controls to the HTML manually any more.
Motivation
The “normal” usage of the tablesorter's pager add-on requires you to manually create a user interface (control buttons to skip pages, page size selection and page display) in your HTML document (in addition to the table).
When calling the tablesorterPager plug-in, you may then “connect” these controls with the pager by setting corresponding options to the classes of the controls. This way, the plug-in is “wired” to your controls and adds the application logic to your UI.
While that is a clear separation of logic (in javascript) and user interface (in HTML) and offers you great freedom of UI design, I personally was looking for a solution which (just like the main tablesorter functionality) is directly applicable to any table in my web application's output without requiring the web app itself to include controls into its output.
So, the goal of this plug-in is to get rid of pager-specific HTML mark-up in the document. If you, too, want to dynamically apply a table sorter and pager to one or more tables inside some HTML document via JavaScript, while the HTML really only holds the data table, have a look at this plug-in.
