Plugin author here -- my fault for not browser testing, but hey, that's what I'm posting it for in the first place.

Will investigate now :)

EDIT: Now fixed for all major browsers, as far as I can tell :P

Man, that reminded me of the days when you'd design a great website, only to view it in IE a week later and realize that there were purple borders around all your image links. Apparently Chrome for Mac is verrrry lenient when it comes to relative positioning on <th>s.

Anyway, just pushed a quick fix. Sorry Firefox + Opera folk!

edit: Github pages still building :(

Doesn't work.. Chrome on mac. Which browser did you actually tested it on? :P It doesn't look like a good idea to show it to the public before testing it on a few of the most popular browsers... It isn't so hard to do..

Don't be a dick. He was excited and posted it.

That said, the bar to creating plugins these days is much higher. It needs to be testable, and I'd implore the author to add unit tests.

Aside from that, it's quite a bit of page weight for this lil feature. I really would like to not have to add jQuery-ui and store.js to get it to work.

Well he said he posted it to find out in which browsers the plugin has issues. I just said it is a better idea to test it himself, that it isn't so hard to do. I don't see why I'm being a dick, and I spoke with respect. I'm tired of people overreacting over this kind of things, we don't need to be extremely polite all the time, it's tedious. That being said, I hope he gets it to work properly, seems like it could be a very useful plugin...

Seems like this is testing 101. the guy is right, he should have tested it on major browsers before showing it. Getting excited and posting it is no excuse for not doing some preliminary testing. So please refrain from being a dick by calling someone else a dick. Thanks

Chrome on Mac worked here and for a co-worker :)

Not for me, running the latest Chrome

Works fine here on Chrome on Mac.

The problem is how you phrased it. It should be "Click the column header dividers"

"Click the column headers" implies something will happen when I click on "Username" and nothing does.
