DataTables Editor with Twitter Bootstrap example

Twitter Bootstrap is a popular framework library for very quickly providing a unified look-and-feel for web-applications. Through Editor's abilities to be extensively customised and Bootstrap integration for DataTables you can have a beautiful Bootstrap styled interface for your tables and Editor in virtually no time!

This example shows Bootstrap integration with DataTables and its two components, TableTools and Editor. The DataTables integration files, which set the configuration properties required for Bootstrap styling, are in the examples/support/bootstrap/dataTables directory of this package. With those files included, simply create Editor and DataTables as you normally would, and you get a table styled like that shown below.
