Requires clickMenu for the column selector widget:

Deploy:
To use the jquery-tablemanager, you have to load jquery (working with version 1.7.1) and jquery-clickmenu (http://p.sohei.org/jquery-plugins/clickmenu/) like in this example: 

    <script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.js" type="text/javascript">//</script>
    <script src="js/jquery.clickmenu.js" type="text/javascript">//</script>

To use the test-example (test.html) simply put these two files into the js-folder.

Usage:
Attach a class 'tablemanager' to each table that should be managed.
The table must have an id attribute.
Attach a class 'tablemanager-collapsible' to each th that should be collapsible.
Put the column heads as th elements in a thead element (instead of putting them in tbody).

  $('table.tablemanager').each(function() {
    $.fn.tablemanager($(this), {mincols: 5});
  });

mincols is the minimum number of columns that the table must have 
for a column selector widget to be rendered.

In the test-example, the initialization code is found in the file: js/application.js
