I installed the plugin directly through the admin interface. I never specified anything regarding interface, so I'm assuming that it's using the default settings.

As for jQuery, I haven't had time to learn that yet, which is why I'm relying on the plugins that have been created already.

If you go in the datatables plugin and edit the html example, it is pretty instructive and you can see which css is needed for a given output of the plugin...

    Think that your css are not loaded, I mean the datatables css...
    Or you didn't specified that you want to use the jQuery UI theme.

    But what you want exactly? Truncate switch from web2py allow to
    trunc long text field at particular length, personnaly I don't
    truncate... For example you have to manipulate the html select for
    the table if you want to not allow text to spill over more then
    one line...

    I do that like that :


    table = crud.select(db[request.args(0)],
                                query=query, _class='sortable',
                                _id='something')

    for th in table.elements('th'):
    th.attributes['_style']='white-space:nowrap;'

    "white-space:nowrap" is prevent the return of the line if text
    lenght is over a certain length.

    And for column width switch for DataTables here a thread :

    http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/3213/column-widths/p1

    And basic styling : http://www.datatables.net/styling/ids_classes

                    If you really need a table plugin, look to
                    Datatables or PowerTable (or PowerGrid :
                    http://labs.blouweb.com/PowerGrid/) form Bruno.

                    There is also a plugin_wiki jqgrid coming
                    pre-wrapped within web2py.
