Thanks for your suggestions, Aditya and Avadhoot. I was also suggested to use Windows Live Writer. Let me try all the options and post again on this thread if I have further queries.

Why not use HTML?  It's as easy as 1- 2 - 3 

If you want table with rows that can be sorted, use Google Chart API - Table. That too is easy.

Ranjith - your code works. But the table takes time to load? Also is there a data type for hyperlink ? I want my table to have serial no, Text and link.

Yes, it will take time. 

For links, change line

 table.draw(data, {showRowNumber: true});

to

  table.draw(data, {allowHtml:: true});

And, use normal tags for the link.

.

But, since you are saying that the table contains just s no, text and links, I would suggest that you use normal HTML and add code for those special effects : change row background on mouse hover . Sorting will be difficult but I think you don't need it.

Why is the last sentence in the above reply being underlined on mouse over? 

I didn't do anything.... 

EDIT : The line got enclosed in an <a> tag . Don't know how...

.

EDIT :

table.draw(data, {allowHtml : true});
