Excel-style Table Cell Selector Plugin With jQuery - TableCellsSelection

TableCellsSelection is a simple yet useful jQuery plugin which allows to select/highlight as many cells as you like in an html table through mouse click and drag (like in GoogleDocs or Excel).

How to use it:

1. Load the jQuery TableCellsSelection plugin's CSS file in the document's head section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="tablecellsselection.css">

2. Load the jQuery TableCellsSelection plugin's JavaScript file after jQuery (3.0 slim is recommended) but before we close the body tag:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="tablecellsselection.js"></script>

3. Just call the function tableCellsSelection() on the html table and we're done.

$('table').tableCellsSelection();

4. Get user selected table cells:

var $selectedCells = $('table').tableCellsSelection('selectedCells');
// will return selected cells as jQuery-object

5. Revert all HTML DOM changes.

$('table').tableCellsSelection('removeDocumentHtmlChanges');

6. Apply HTML DOM changes.

$('table').tableCellsSelection('addDocumentHtmlChanges');

7. Destroy the plugin.

$('table').tableCellsSelection('destroy');
