Tables in CHM files

[Techno]

This question may be somewhat off the wall, but....

I have a need to create a table, which in itself is not a problem. It is currently in Excel.

However, I wish users to be able to select on a specific criteria, and sort on another column.

Is this at all possible in Flare 10

I think the question needs to be more "Is this possible within a CHM?" It appears as that the CHM viewer can execute some javascript, but the HTML engine used by CHM always was a bit crippled. Found this: http://codereview.stackexchange.com/que ... ent-manner
I'm not that versed in JS, but adapting that script for allowing sorting on any one of the columns in the table should be easy. You could also just add an HTML drop-down with the column headers hardcoded.

When I understand you correctly, you also want a filter (select on specific criteria). For that I found this: http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/tIuBL
The benefit with both solutions is that they do not depend on some js framework. I suggest you give it a try on a small table with just two or three columns and a handful of rows to make debugging easier. I have no idea if this works within a CHM, even if it does it may depend on the Internet settings on the local system viewing the CHM if scripting is allowed.

Good luck!
