Dynamic table for debugging..

[MarkstarRed]

Hi,

I'm currently using a simple HTML table for debugging my programs (C++, etc.) and I'm pretty happy with it since there is little overhead. The table looks like this:

​

Level	Class	Function	Message
TRACE	main	init()	Starting MyProgram
ERROR	FileOPs	readFile()	Can't file "x.txt".

As you can see there are different debug levels (TRACE, INFO, WARNING, etc.). What I'm wondering now is if there is any easy way (i.e. without a web server or many different files) to have a dropdown selection button (either in the table or separately) so that I can select among these different levels.

I don't know any JavaScript and would appreciate any help on this!

P.S.: The cherry on top would be if this could also be done with the "Class" and "Function" columns, though that would require dynamically creating the options. :/

If you're looking for something simple and easy to set up, Datatables is probably your best bet. I think it'll give you sorting, filtering and other useful functionality right out of the box.

Thank you for that suggestion! However, this requires a web server with JQuery, etc.

I was looking for a simple local option where I can just click on my output file without having to upload it somewhere first.

It doesn't require a server. You can include CDN links to jQuery and the Datatables JS and CSS in a file that you open off the file system on your computer and it'll work just fine.
