Backbone JS Datatable Integration
I'm building an application that is based primarily on Backbone JS and have been really impressed so far. There is a portion of the app, however, that demands a fairly flexible table/grid layout that would allow some client-side filtering/searching/column-based filtering etc...

I've used Datatables in the past and it seems like it would be a great fit, but I am having some issues integrating the Backbone Models/Collections into the Datatable init.

One of the members on the DT forums suggests taking advantage of the mDataProp attribute ([DataTable Forums][1]), but I have been unsuccessful so far. 

I was hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction so that I can use Datatables to view my collections and items, and still have access to all the great event-binding etc that Backbone offers.


Thanks!
