    You just need to put in an HTML table which looks something like this:
    http://datatables.net/usage/#prerequisites

    Then include the JS file for jQuery and DataTables (and the CSS if you want it)

    [code]

    @import "/media/css/demo_page.css";
    @import "/media/css/demo_table.css";



    [/code]
    Then finally initialise DataTables:

    [code]

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable();
    } );

    [/code]

    ok I have created a simple HTML table, but I don't know how to put the JS files in Joomla.

    Nor do I :-). I've not used Joomla before - I'd suggest asking in a Joomla forum.

    I have been able to put jquery in joomla. Then how do I put js files in jquery?

    You don't - you put them into the HTML like what I put above. It is possible to load JS files via jQuery (or just general Javascript) but that requires inserting your on Javascript as well - and I don't know how you do that in Joomla.

    The Javascript includes and the document ready function should be added (typically) in the HTML HEAD element. Have a look at this example (view source): http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html . How you put that information into the header in Joomla - I honestly couldn't say :-)

    buildcrate, you need to install the module called "Sourcerer". It allows you to place code directly into your articles (without it the joomla text editors will strip your code). You need to get your code working outside of joomla before trying to insert it into an article.
    The module is free and you can get it here: http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=Sourcerer
