click events on the fixed header

Question

I have used fixed header from this gist in my code. I want to be able to click the header columns and sort the table based on which column header is clicked. But I cannot get hold of the click event on the the column.

Answer 1

Try this one

$('.fixed-table').on('click', '.header-fixed th', function(){
    var th=$(this).index();
    alert('Column number is : ' + th + ' and text is : ' + $(this).text());
});
