 * I’m trying to add Datatable functions to tables on my WP pages. From the docs
   here and on the Datatables.net site it looks like I should just be able to put
   something like
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
       <!--
           jQuery(document).ready(function() {
               jQuery('#my_data_table').dataTable();({
                    bJQueryUI:true, sScrollY:300, bScrollInfinite:true, bScrollCollapse:true })
           } );
       // --></script></p>
       ```
   
 * on the page, but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried it with and without the `<!-- and//--
   >` and I’ve tried putting it into a shortcode instead of on the page. I know 
   datatables _can_ work on my site because there’s a datatable shortcode in contact-
   form-7-to-database-extension plugin that works. Unfortunately, that one is too
   limited for what I need to do.
