Jquery Datatable Plugin Tutorial


Jquery Datatable Plugin Tutorial

Datatables are mainly used to enhance the accessibility of data in HTML tables.

DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool and will add advanced interaction controls to your HTML table like Pagination, instant search and multi-column ordering.

It is very to use Datatable plugin in your HTML pages. Just take a peice of code below: a single function call to initialise the table is all it takes!


$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myTable').DataTable();
});
 


You can start using DataTables by simply including two files in your web-site, the CSS styling and the DataTables script itself which are also available free on the  DataTables CDN:
