NOTE!

- As of tablesorter version 2.9+, this widget can no longer be applied to versions of tablesorter prior to version 2.8.
- Older versions of this widget can be applied to the original plugin. The code is in the "jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js" file.
- The original "widgetColumns" option has been replaced by "widgetOptions.columns". See the javascript block below for more details (v2.1).
- Table header and footer rows now get updated with the columns widget classes. Check out the "grey" theme to see (v2.4).
- This demo page is running jQuery v1.2.6.
