jQuery UI is a popular suite of Javascript widgets such as DatePicker, AutoComplete and Dialog. Although jQuery UI isn't a CSS framework in the same sense as Bootstrap or Foundation it does provide a common styling framework for its widgets through its ThemeRoller component.
Like DataTables, Editor provides integration files which can be used to have the form styled in the same basic way as other jQuery UI widgets. This example shows that integration, with the Dialog control being used to display the Editor form.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
- Its 'minified version of jQuery code' so what is minified version codefunction helloworldfxn /. parameters: none return: undefined description: this function will pop up the alert with text "hello world" character by character auth.
- Intended for jQuery’s internal use; specific properties may be removed when they are no longer needed internally to improve page startup performance. For your own project’s feature-detection needs, we strongly recommend the use of an external library such as Modernizr instead of dependency on properties in jQuery.support.
- Supports npm, GitHub, WordPress, Deno, and more. Largest network and best performance among all CDNs. Serving more than 80 billion requests per month. Built for production use.

The jQuery team knows all about cross-browser issues, and they have written this knowledge into the jQuery library. JQuery will run exactly the same in all major browsers.
In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:
The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:
This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown below:
The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:
This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.
The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side processing scripts can be written in any language, using the protocol described in the DataTables documentation.
