# AutoFill





AutoFill gives an Excel like option to a DataTable to click and drag over multiple cells, filling in information over the selected cells and incrementing numbers as needed. Key features include:





* Click and drag cell content insertion


* Automatic incrementing of numeric information


* Enable and disable on any column


* Detailed callback functions for customisation


* Support for both DataTables and browser window scrolling








# Installation





To use AutoFill, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped AutoFill package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.








# Basic usage





AutoFill is initialised using the `$.fn.dataTable.AutoFill` constructor. For example:





```js


$(document).ready( function () {


    var table = $('#example').dataTable();


    new $.fn.dataTable.AutoFill( table );


} );


```
