DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, built upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, that adds many advanced features to any HTML table.
Zero Configuration
DataTables has most features enabled by default, so all you need to do to use it with your own tables is to call the construction function: $().DataTable();.

Complex Headers
When using tables to display data, you will often wish to display column information in groups. DataTables fully supports colspan and rowspan in the table's header, assigning the required order listeners to the TH element suitable for that column.

Row Grouping
Although DataTables doesn't have row grouping built-in (picking one of the many methods available would overly limit the DataTables core), it is most certainly possible to give the look and feel of row grouping.
