I tried using DataTables a year or two ago for a project, but I ended up needing to use jqgrid because with DataTables, you had to load all of your table entries into the HTML at once. When you have 30 items or so, this isn't a big deal, but I had to deal with about 10,000 records, so loading all records into an HTML table isn't feasible. I don't know if this has changed at all, so if I'm wrong, please let me know, as I will soon have to make a decision about how I want to approach the same requirement for a new project.
