MvcAjaxTable

UPDATE
Now available via Nuget

Project Description
A simple jquery plugin to simplify dealing with paging and sorting of tables. MvcAjaxTable deals with state on the client and allows functions to be executed at various points in the pipeline.

Overview
Enables tables to be refreshed via calls to JSON endpoints on MVC controllers. The plugin handles the requests for sorting and paging and the nessecary state that needs to be held to support this. Although this project is primarily focused on consumption from MVC I'll be more than happy to add some ASP.NET Webform examples if required.

Currently the functionality is limited but more advanced functionality will soon be available such as in place filtering. A request I have from a consumer of this plugin. Done

Source
The version that is currently in source control has a mocked backend which provides the data to drive the demos. I've split the demo in to the appropriate tiers and stubbed in obvious places as so it's clear which bits to replace to say integrate with sql server or web services etc.
