Select example Simple initialisation

Select is an extension for DataTables that provides table item selection capabilities. In its most simple form it can be enabled on a DataTable by setting the select option to be true. This will enable Select will all of its default options - row selection which is performed using the os method (click to select a single item, cmd/ctrl to add and remove items or shift to select a range of items) - see the select.style option.

This example simply shows a table with selectable rows. For examples that actually do something with those selected rows, please see the other examples in this section!
