how to call a jQuery plugin class inside javascript

I want to sort a table using Tablesort jQuery plugin.

My html, has a select tag, on changing any option it calls searchXML() function from my.js..

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    Select an option:
    <select onchange="searchXML()" id="input">
      <option></option>
      <option value="milk">Milk</option>
      <option value="tea">Tea</option>
      <option value="sugar">Sugar</option>
      <option value="juice">Juice</option>
      <option value="all">All</option>
    </select>

    <br />
    <div id="results">
    </div>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script src="js/my.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.tablesorter.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.tablesorter.widgets.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

My JavaScript, will show a table. but I want to add sorting functionality to my table using Tablesort plugin, so I included class="tablesorter" to my table tag. but the tablesorter is not working...

var product=[];
var quantity=[];
var date=[];
var grossprice=[];
var profit=[];
var divText=[];

function searchXML()
{

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
        {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
        }
        else
        {// code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        }
    xmlhttp.open("GET","xml/test.xml",false);
    xmlhttp.send();
    xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML; 

    x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ProductName");
          input = document.getElementById("input").value;
          size = input.length;
          divText=""
          if (input == "")
          {
              document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= "Please select a Product Name!";
              return false;
          }
          if (input === "all")
          {
                var y=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("entry");
                    for (i=0;i<y.length;i++)
                    {
                          date=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Date")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                          product=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ProductName")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                          quantity=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Quantity")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                          grossprice=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("GrossPrice")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                          profit=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Profit")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                          if (divText==="")
                          {
                            divText="<h2>The product details are:</h2><br /><table border=1 class=\"tablesorter\">";
                            divText+="<tr><th width=150>Date</th><th width=150>Product</th><th width=200>Quantity</th><th width=200>Gross Price</th><th width=200>Profit</th></tr>";
                          }
                          divText += "<tr><td width=150 align=center>" + date + "</td><td width=150 align=center>" + product + "</td><td width=200 align=center>" + quantity + "</td><td width=200 align=center>" + grossprice + "</td><td width=200 align=center>" + profit + "</td></tr>";
                    }
         }

          for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
          {
              startString = x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
              if (startString.toLowerCase() == input.toLowerCase())
              {
                  date=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Date")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                  product=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ProductName")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                  quantity=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Quantity")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                  grossprice=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("GrossPrice")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                  profit=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Profit")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
                  if (divText==="")
                  {
                    divText="<h2>The product details are:</h2><br /><table border=1 class=\"tablesorter\">";
                    divText+="<tr><th width=150>Date</th><th width=150>Product</th><th width=200>Quantity</th><th width=200>Gross Price</th><th width=200>Profit</th></tr>";
                  }

              }
          }
          if (divText=="")
          {
              divText = "<h2>The product does not exist.</h2>";            
          }
          else
          {
              divText+="</table>";
          }
          document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= divText;

}

divText2=$(divText);
divText2.tablesorter();

divText="<h2>The product details are:</h2><br /><table border=1 class="tablesorter">";

should be:

divText="<h2>The product details are:</h2><br /><table border=1 class=\"tablesorter\">";

You are appending divText and you have applied tablesorter() to divText2. Change your code in following way:-

  1. after the final else condition remove document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= divText;

  2. Paste this code:-

    var divText2 = $(divText); divText2.tablesorter(); $("#results").append(divText2);
