 * Hi! It looks like I can incorporate some javascript to help with displaying table
   data.
 * I really want to incorporate THIS feature from DataTables, but it doesn’t do 
   anything when I copy and paste the javascript into the table settings:

 * Perhaps only a few of the features from DataTables can be used directly in TablePress?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Your assumption is correct. TablePress only uses a subset of the DataTables functions
   directly. For the advanced features (like custom code like from that link), you
   will have to manually load and initialize DataTables on your site. (You can still
   use TablePress to manage and create the HTML code for your table, but you will
   have to do the DataTables initialization yourself, according to its documentation.)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
