You can colorize as many table rows or columns as you want. A repeat mouse click reverts the row/column to the original background color.

Fixed Header Tables takes valid table HTML and builds a fixed header as done in Microsoft excel and a scrolling body with optional footer.
7. jExpand

8. Column Hover

9. tablesorter

10. Table Drag and Drop JQuery plugin
I’ve been using JQuery for a while now and really agree with its tag line that it’s the “The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library”. We’ve also got this code for dragging and dropping table rows that has proved very popular, so it seemed natural to combine the two and wrap up the table drag and drop as a JQuery plugin.
