DataTables Table jQuery

Hi All,

I was going through the site http://www.datatables.net/.There is an example which is shown in the site.
User-added image

When this particular example is seen in TAB or mobile the columns are sorted out like below -

Can anyone help me out how this can be achieved in visualforce page.

To make your dataTable responsive, you have to include following supporting CSS and Javascript in the visualforce page

//cdn.datatables.net/responsive/1.0.5/css/dataTables.responsive.css
//cdn.datatables.net/responsive/1.0.5/js/dataTables.responsive.js
//cdn.datatables.net/responsive/1.0.5/js/dataTables.responsive.js

You can find the complete supporting files for the DataTables in this link - http://www.datatables.net/download/index

Hi sfdc,

Yes, this we can achieve, you can use bootstrap and there are too many ways where you can decide if page opened in mobile or tab then only 4 columns should be visible else 7 or like that..

Hi SFDC, 

Just to confirm, you want to use this plugin from site in your vf page or you need same kind of behaviour in our Vf page..here same behaviour means you already have your vf page which is also showing somedata from table and there columns you want to sort based on device?
