Hi,

I've been asked for a live example of an accessible data table with
sortable columns. The only example I have is behind a secure sign-in.
Does anyone have a link to a live example I can share?

Well I, for one, say a massive "thank you", Steve! How did I not know about
this framework?!
It's well hidden away - I wondered why I'd not found if before, but having
another google for "section 508 framework" and "accessible framework" as I
did weeks ago shows neither appear on even the first 5 pages of Google
results.

It could have probably saved me a good week of putting stuff together
myself; that said, I can't use it now as it uses the old 2.22 version of
bootstrap so I'd probably be in compatibility hell if I used the code
snippets directly, but I'm certainly going to be taking a very good look at
it for examples and it's right at the top of my reference bookmarks folder
now!

Thanks again.

This is a good table for that, however, it doesn't have any row headers.

How did you not know about the framework? Um we just released it may
have had something to do with it.

As for more current versions of bootstrap and the other libraries,
that is coming. They are just started testing the next version. It
should be available for public consumption by the end of May.

That said, the controls do not necessarily depend on Bootstrap 2.2 -
that was mainly used for layout. The controls themselves should (no
guarantee though) work just fine with Bootstrap 3.x, and jqueryUI
1.9.1 since most of these are not bootstrap specific.
