table().container()

Description

DataTables places the main table and all of the various component display controls for the table inside a container element, a div element with a class of dataTables_wrapper (by default).

This method, and its plural counterpart, provide the ability to obtain that container node, which can be used by plug-in authors to add additional controls to the table.

	.addClass( 'selectable' );
