DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, based upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, and will add advanced interaction controls to any HTML table. For more info see
the official site .
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.

$("#kt_datatable_example_1").DataTable();
This example shows the DataTables table body scrolling in the vertical direction. This can generally be seen as an alternative method to pagination for displaying a large table in a fairly small vertical area, and as such pagination has been disabled here (note that this is not mandatory, it will work just fine with pagination enabled as well!).
