  Looks pretty cool. Any way to fix the header to always be visible?

    You could add Mozilla's position:sticky attribute :P

Ah, you're correct. I don't program in any language that considers hungarian notation to be a common naming convention so I haven't ran into it before. For some reason I had not stumbled on to the page that explains this until I deliberately looked for it now. As far as alternatives go, I usually specialize based on what my needs are. If I'm using a JS framework I don't have as much of a need for an all-in-one solution like datatables because the framework usually does a good job of handling things like DOM rendering and data storage without the need for a full blown table sorting library.

  As far as alternatives go, I usually specialize based on what my needs are. Well, the alternative is always to write it yourself. The same could be said for jQuery or any framework (and many have been advocating doing that) but it's always a trade off between experience/time/resources. I don't think it's really fair to compare a feature rich plugin that provides a lot of generic functionality vs what you can write for a very specific requirement, esp if you don't need the any/most of the functionality in the plugin! I used Datatables a few years ago extensively for a provide, I actually found it very easy to work with - but I understood the notation having come from a VBScript background a long time ago - and as others have said, it was miles ahead of anything else at the time.

    That's not what I mean necessarily. You can specialize by grabbing a single purpose library.

      Sure I agree, but that's just common sense, use something that fits your purpose, it's the same for any piece of software.

Interestingly enough, this is exactly what we have been working the past week at the office :) but our solutions are more general (not fixed for a table) because we need the pagination feature for many different controls
