Yes you can certainly use JavaScript for this, but coding it from scratch will be time consuming and it’s not worth. But JS libraries/frameworks will allow you to add a range of dynamic behavior to your tables and manipulate it for better presentation on a webpage without spending much time. We decided to list a few for the benefit of those who intend to use tables with JavaScript(JS). Most of these are for the popular jQuery, MooTools and Prototype/script.aculo.us JS frameworks.
