Description:
Demonstration of flippable tables using HTML and JavaScript.
I'd like to suggest that the ability to create flippable tables be added to WikiMedia software. An HTML demonstration example has been attached. I'll create a patch once the script has been tested further.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

The script could more or less be safely copied and pasted into "wikibits.js". However, it would be better to merge the "flippables_init()" and "sortables_init()" functions so that all the tables aren't traversed more times than is absolutely necessary.

Is there any reason we would want it? I suggest marking this as WONTFIX.
Also, by "flippable" you surely mean "scrollable".
(I'm looking through bugs with the "javascript" keyword.)
Also, if we do want this, CSS is the way.

Wontfixing. Per comments above, this is only going to cause issues with old browsers, disabled JavaScript and printing.
