DataTables accessibility

Greetings all,

Apologies if this has been discussed before on the list, I did a quick check but didn't see anything.

I was asked to test a Web application developed within my organization. It contains data grids using a jQuery table plug-in from www.datatables.net<;http://www.datatables.net>;.
So far, I've found that the column headers are all in one table and the actual content is in another, which means that the headers are not being associated with the cells. Has anyone here had experience with the DataTables plug-in, and can it be made accessible or Section 508 compliant?

Thanks.

Courtney
