TableTools is a plug-in for the DataTables HTML table enhancer, which adds a highly customisable button toolbar to a DataTable. Key features include: - copy to clipboard; save table data as CSV, XLS or PDF files; print view for clean printing; row selection options; easy use predefined buttons; simple customisation of buttons and well defined API for advanced control.

As well as providing a button toolbar, TableTools provides everything needed to have selectable rows in the table. TableTools has four row selection modes of operation: single - a single row can be selected; multi - multiple rows can be selected simply by clicking on the rows; os - Operating System like selection. This example shows the single select option.

Example of a multiple select option. If sRowSelect option is set to multi, you can select multiple rows simply by clicking on the rows, no need to hold any keys on the keyboard. There are also a number of pre-defined buttons to provide functions such as select-all and select-none, as shown in this example. In order to keep a toollbar clean, all buttons are placed inside a dropdown.

This example shows the os select option - operating system like selection where you can use the shift and ctrl/cmd keys on your keyboard to add/remove rows from the selection. Without keyboard interaction a single row can be selected at a time, but multiple rows can be selected in a range using the shift key. In order to keep a toollbar clean, all buttons are placed inside a dropdown.
