Error when number of tbody's td is diff of thead's td (getAttribute of undefined)

[sportok]

Hello,

Since upgrade to v2.19.0 and v2.19.1 (before i had v2.17.4) i have a problem with tablesorter.

If number of tbody's "td" is not similar to number of thead's "td", an error occured.
For example, if i want a blank row, i must be write :
$('#table_applicationCompany tbody').append('');
Before this upgrade, next code worked :
$('#table_applicationCompany tbody').append('');

It is more problematic when i have a "colspan=3" because it not possible to add the real number of td...

ERROR : "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getAttribute' of undefined" (in jquery.tablesorter.widgets.min.js)

Have you a solution ?

Thanks,
SportOk

Hi @sportok!

I would not recommend adding an empty row like that because it is evaluated as a row with all empty cells for sorting, so the emptyTo option kicks in and sorts it at the bottom (default setting).

If you want to insert and blank row and keep it in place during sorting, then use the static row widget.

That being said, that is a problem in the code which I will fix 😉

@Mottie Thank you for the fix ! :)
I'll see if I can set up the static widget but I don't think I can use it everywhere.
