TableTools example

# Preamble

This example shows the basic initialisation of TableTools by simply including the 'T' marker in DataTables' sDom parameter. This tell DataTables to insert the TableTools toolbar in that location. Remember to include the Javascript and CSS source files as well!

It is worth noting that you might need to set the sSwfPath parameter to tell TableTools where to find the SWF file for copy and file save.
