So I'm very new to JS/CSS and Im just playing around looking at other bits of code and trying to get some odds and sods working. I have managed to find some code to load a csv file in to and disaply it in Firefox. I'd now like to be able to filter and/or search the table but don't know how - does anyone have any suggestions? I can find how to do it if the table exists within the file, but Im stumped when it comes to doing it via a file that's loaded externally...
