Intercepting Events

You can intercept certain FooTable add-on events. If you want to stop the action from happening, then simply return false.

$('table').footable().bind({
		'footable_sorting' : function(e) {
			return confirm('Do you want to sort by column: ' + e.column.name + ', direction: ' + e.direction);
		},
		'footable_filtering' : function(e) {
			if (e.clear) {
				return confirm('Do you want to clear the filter?');
			} else {
				return confirm('Do you want to filter by ' + e.filter);
			}
		},
		'footable_paging' : function(e) {
			return confirm('Do you want to goto page: ' + e.page);
		}
	});
