The header on some of the columns are click-able to enable sorting in an ascending or descending manner. On clicking on any of these headers nothing happens at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Visit the site www.nseindia.com 2.Click on the link "Nifty Stock-watch" 3.Click on the link "Symbol" or "% Change" or "Total trd qty" or "Turnover (Rs.Lakhs)" Actual Results: I was expecting the columns to get sorted but non of the columns get sorted. Expected Results: Sorting of the entire table based on the column header I clicked on. You can test the site www.nseindia.com with IE. This works pretty well with IE. I have used the plain vanilla browser downloaded from the website with out any additional plugins, themes etc. Machine is a standard Intel 3.0 Ghz procerssor with windows XP SP2 as the OS.

The page is full of IE-only stuff. JS Console picks up Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead. Source File: javascript:sortTable(6, ResultSetTable); Line: 1 ResultSetTable is the |name| and |id| of big table, but the page can't just reference it like that. It has to use document.getElementById("ResultSetTable") In http://www.nseindia.com/js/tablesort.js it does: var iCurCell = col + tableToSort.cols; The html sets a |cols| attribute on the table, but it has to use tableToSort.getAttribute("cols") and wrap it in Number() to convert it to an actual number. The same function later does tableToSort.cells(iCurCell).innerText Oof. OK, |cells| is not a propery of a table, |rows| is. So it needs to do tableToSort.cells[i].cells[iCurCell] (note the use of [] instead of ()). And innerText is an IE-ism. It needs to use .childNodes[0].nodeValue. And iCurCell (by design) is greater than the number of columns, so it's referencing a non-existent cell. Anyway, any one of these things would be sufficient to break the functionality.
