$header: An array containing the table headers. Each element of the array can be either a localized string or an associative array with the following keys:

  • "data": The localized title of the table column.
  • "field": The database field represented in the table column (required if user is to be able to sort on this column).
  • "sort": A default sort order for this column ("asc" or "desc").
  • Any HTML attributes, such as "colspan", to apply to the column header cell.

Here's an example for $rows: @verbatim $rows = array( // Simple row array( 'Cell 1', 'Cell 2', 'Cell 3' ), // Row with attributes on the row and some of its cells. array( 'data' => array('Cell 1', array('data' => 'Cell 2', 'colspan' => 2)), 'class' => 'funky' ) ); @endverbatim
