[Koha-devel] jquery plugin

[Reed Wade]

Have you considered--
 http://www.datatables.net/
?

I did a little investigation of jquery table plugins a few months ago
and picked that as my favourite. I ended up not using any as my data
sets were very large and I didn't want to wire in their paging
solution (even though it might have been the right thing to do after
all).
