Quick Start

Then just initialise the plugin by either passing a reference to the table or a CSS3 selector string as the first parameter:

var myTable = document.querySelector("#myTable");
var dataTable = new DataTable(myTable);

// or

var dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable");

You can also pass the options object as the second paramater:

var dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable", {
	searchable: false,
	fixedHeight: true,
	...
});
