In the previous article, I described the creation of an HTML table report with AJAX filtering and user sorting of columns — using a few lines of code written into a single Java command. For this, I used the ReportBuilder class from the Ujorm framework. Today, I’d like to show you how to place formatted content into the cells of such a table, as well as a few more improvements.

Our filter now has a new input field for limiting the number of displayed rows. We can insert the first column into our table, containing the sort order number of the row. The star classification of a hotel can be displayed using a list of appropriate characters with a tooltip, and the final column contains a link to the hotel home page. The original behaviour of the table remains the same, the updated source code is here:
