Collapse/Expand table columns (not rows)

Question

I have a large report currently rendered as a regular HTML table. I'd like to be able to group columns together and expand/collapse them with a button.

This is a very common practice for rows but not so much for columns. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for doing it with columns.

My stack includes jquery so that's available to you (though certainly not required!).

Answer 1

Use the columnManager plugin. Can't be easier.
