Collapse / Expand table columns (not rows)

Question

I have a large report that now displays as a regular HTML table. I would like to be able to group the columns together and expand / collapse them using the button.

This is a very common practice for rows, but not for columns. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for this using columns.

There is jquery in my stack, so it’s available to you (although, of course, it is not required!).

Answer 1

Use the columnManager plugin . It couldn't be simpler.
