>>>In this case I agree with you completely. She was asking for quite a lot. There was nothing mean spirited in your reply and in fact you gave her some good advice -- take it a step at a time as far as you can, and then if you are stuck on a tough point come ask. Also the importance of understanding the fundamentals first.

Hi Dorin,
I am wondering if there is any way to contact the author? The blogs don't seem to have comments. I am not sure why, but I don't see any images for the ordering options. I am referring CDN file using this code
jqueryCdnPath = "//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.4/css/jquery.dataTables_themeroller.css";
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/jquery.DataTables/css", jqueryCdnPath).Include("~/Content/jquery.dataTables_themeroller.css"));
and I add it to my _layout.cshtml
@Styles.Render("~/Content/jquery.DataTables/css")
In the resulting page I don't see the images for the orders as I see in the samples he shows. It should be something simple I am missing.
I figured this out. Honestly, the flexigrid looks nicer, but I haven't gone through all the samples yet.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
