Question

I am using following codes for making table as grid

oTable = $('#search_table').dataTable({
    "bJQueryUI": true,
    "sScrollY": "200px",
    "bPaginate": true,
    //"bAutoWidth": true,
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    "oTableTools": {
        "aButtons": [{
            "sExtends": "print",
            "sMessage": "Generated by DataTables"
        }]
    },
    "aoColumns": [
        null,
        null,
        null,
        null,
        null,
        null,
        null, {
            "bSortable": false
        }, {
            "bSortable": false
        },
        null,
    ]
});
