DataTables: BasicADDONCreate headache free searching, sorting and pagination tables without any complex configuration
About
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 all of these advanced features to any HTML table. The stated goal of DataTables is "To enhance the accessibility of data in HTML tables". In order to achieve this we recognise that DataTables has two categories of users that interact with the interfaces the software has:
- End users - those who use the interface in the browser that you create with DataTables
- Developers - yourself and the other developers working with DataTables to create your apps, sites, services, etc.

.dt-responsiveclass is used to indicate to the extension that it should be enabled on this page, as responsive has special meaning in Bootstrap. The responsive option could also be used if required
