FilteringTable: allow custom formatters

[jmafrancois@…]

The html content in cells may be anchors or/and images and data may have a server side special format and sometimes are not displayed at all. e.g.

    <table dojoType="FilteringTable" >
        <thead><tr>
            <th dataType="String">Name</th>
            <th dataType="Date">Date</th>
            <th dataType="Number">Value</th></tr></thead>       
        <tbody>
            <tr value="1"><td data="Adam"><img src="img/adam.png"/></td>
                <td data="11/1/2003"><a href="LinkForADate?date=11/1/2003">Nov 1th 2003</a></td>
                <td data="12"><a href="linkForAValue?value=12"><img src="img/lowValue.png"/></a></td></tr>
                ...

Sort and filter are applied to data and cells are then rendered with the provided inner html content. This feature would allow special format for date ( using locale ) and for numbers, letting the complexity on the server side and then keeping lightweight the rendering engine.

To clarify for my own uses, what the submitter is asking for is a way to format the data point that is a little more extensive that the current methodology; right now format is limited to date formatting, and was going to get numeric formatting. The poster is asking that a function be also passable, to let the user control/create any custom formatting desired.

The new Table widget will allow custom formatting of each column.

FilteringTable? is not being ported to either Dijit or DojoX, so I'm closing the bug.
