In a front-end editable table, if the editor clicks on a row, the row is highlighted in the table’s color scheme. So far so good.
This is not the case for non-editable tables. Imagine the following scenario:
A row within a big data set contains a link. Let’s say the table is about properties and each row contains one property, each property has a link to an original listing. If a user clicks on one of these links, there is nothing to tell them which row they just clicked on. So I suggest a feature to keep a selected row stateful, even if not editable. I solved this with CSS and JS, but that breaks the ‘edit in pop-up’ function, i.e. the little black box with the editing function gets blocked. So if we could have stateful rows in non-editable tables, that would be great.
