datatables requires a strictly formatted table,i.e. correct thead,tbody,tfoot,etc. declaration. Fran's changes correct formatting errors in the table so you *could* use WebGrid to generate a table that can be used with datatables (SQLTABLE may be a better choice though). WebGrid and datatables have no association. WebGrid is a server based implementation and datatables is client based. Hope that clears thing up.
