how do i use datatables for something like a catalog of ecommerce store?

Hi Allan,

I have successfully used DataTables for admin panel.

However, I want to use the same ajax auto paging behavior for catalog pages in a ecommerce store.

How easily can I manipulate DataTables for this?

When you say a catalogue do you mean that individual items would be shown in each cell? The thing to remember here is that DataTables is not a grid layout component, so for example you couldn't do something like this: http://www.johnlewis.com/Electricals/Televisions/Televisions/All+TVs/LED/-/TV+(TV+Screen+Type)/5013/ProductCategory.aspx . You could make ti look like that sure, but each cell is not independent, it has a relationship with the row that it is on and the column.

So with that in mind, I think I would probably need a bit more information about what you want to do exactly to be able to answer your question directly. If you could explain exactly what you are looking for, that would be great.
