Advanced user of DatatablesWhen I discovered datatables, now a couple of years ago, I was amazed! It allows you to create iterazinones in the tables, in a simple and complete way. You can feed txt files, json or simply html tables, perhaps extrapolated with server-side programming language, and he creates tables with a search engine included, with the possibility of sorting, you can insert buttons and program them to do what you want you. And not only that: there are many features, all present and explained with examples on the official website, which I still have to implement. Depending on your needs, you will find the right solution.
all beautiful things also have some patches. In my opinion, perhaps, the search for advanced features is a bit complex. Let me explain: the site is complete with everything, but perhaps to look for advanced features, it is a bit problematic. Also, having server-side language, javascript and advanced functionality coexisting is not so immediate. But it is feasible, depends on the skill of the programmer.
use datatables whenever you are dealing with tables. Look for advanced features, because surely there is the answer to your need.
The problems solved are a myriad: before discovering datatables, I tried to get its functionality, mixing javascript of all kinds, various plugins, without talking about server-side calls ... well here it's all included. the main use I made, was the design of a cms that allows the management of all web applications, which I realize. a revolution!
