We can use the JavaScript library [**simple-datatables**](https://github.com/fiduswriter/simple-datatables/) to generate enhanced tables in HTML. In the example below, we create a table for the `mtcars` data:
::: {#mtcars-table}
```{r cool, print.args=list(data.frame=list(limit=NULL))}
mtcars
```
:::
Note we assigned an `id` to the table, and next we use the **DataTables** library to initialize the table and you will get an interactive table.
```{js}
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
new simpleDatatables.DataTable('#mtcars-table > table');
});
```
By comparison, below is an ordinary table:
```{r boring}
mtcars
```
