jQuery TableSorter Plugin

Question

Is it possible to disable the pagination (First, Previous, Next, last) links in the tablesorterpager plugin of jQuery. This is my code in jQuery

 jQuery('#mentor_engagement_report_table')
   .tablesorter({ debug: false, sortList: [[0, 0]], widgets: ['zebra'] })
   .tablesorterPager({container: jQuery("#pager"), positionFixed: false,size:10});

I've created a fork of the tablesorter plugin on github. After reading this question, I added a new option to the pager plugin named updateArrows which when true it applies a class name, contained in the new cssDisabled option to the arrows. Here is the initialization code and a demo:

$("table")
  // initialize tablesorter
  .tablesorter()

  // initialize the pager plugin
  .tablesorterPager({
    // target the pager markup
    container: $("#pager"),
    // disabled class name to use
    cssDisabled : 'disabled',
    // apply disabled class name to the pager arrows when the rows at either extreme is visible
    updateArrows: true
  });

And here is some example of css used in the demo:

/*** css used when "updateArrows" option is true ***/
/* the pager itself gets a disabled class when the number of rows is less than the size */
#pager.disabled {
  display: none;
}
/* hide or fade out pager arrows when the first or last row is visible */
#pager img.disabled {
  /* visibility: hidden */
  opacity: 0.5;
  filter: alpha(opacity=50);
}
