Summary
JQuery DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library.
It is a highly flexible tool, based upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, which will add advanced interaction controls to any HTML table.
I'm still of two minds regarding using a widget like DataTables.
- Benefits:
- it's neat getting the sorting and paging right out of the box.
- Considerations:
- In many use cases, don't often actually need sorting
- Disadvantages:
- Templating the row is often out of the developers control…and that leads me to the question of progressive table rendering.

- Sometimes you need a hybrid of pre-fetched pages (eg: 1-5) with the 6th causing a request for the next 5 (less chatty).
