The jQuery fancyTable plugin helps the developers to design HTML tables that are searchable and sortable with pagination feature. This plugin is totally based on JavaScript and HTML.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".sampleTable").fancyTable({
/* Column number for initial sorting*/
sortColumn:0,
/* Setting pagination or enabling */
pagination: true,

perPage:3,
globalSearch:true
});
});

Output:
- Before Execute:
- Search execution:
- Pagination output:
Example 2: The following example demonstrates other options like globalSearchExcludeColumns and use of data-attributes like data-sortas=”case-insensitive”. It also handles callback functions like onInit() and onUpdate(). The developer can make use of other option settings as per the need.
