# Scroller for DataTables 

This package contains distribution files for the [Scroller extension](https://datatables.net/extensions/scroller) for [DataTables](https://datatables.net/). Only the core software for this library is contained in this package - to be correctly styled, a styling package for Scroller must also be included. Styling options include DataTable's native styling, [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com) and [Foundation](http://foundation.zurb.com/).

Scroller is a virtual rendering plug-in for DataTables which allows large datasets to be drawn on screen very quickly. Virtual rendering means is that only the visible portion of the table is drawn, while the scrolling container gives the visual impression that the whole table is visible, allowing excellent browser performance.
