You will need to upload those extra files separately, I’m afraid. Freeway will only manage the files it creates itself, or that it is tasked with using an Action like Upload Stuff. No matter what you put in the Site Folder on your Mac, the only things that will be uploaded from there through Freeway are those things that Freeway put there itself.
As far as where to put things, look carefully at the code you have to add to the page. If it looks like this:
<script src="/foo/bar/baz.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
then pay attention to that leading slash. That means “starting from the Web server’s root folder (where the index.html for the whole site lives) go into the foo folder, then the bar folder within that, to find the baz.js file”. So you would have to re-create that structure on your server and (manually) upload the baz.js file in there. Usually you want to use Transmit or another FTP application for this task. If the path does not start with a slash, then it is relative to the current page. So if your page is in a subfolder, you would need to create whatever folder structure is needed to duplicate the offset (or edit the HTML to point somewhere else). If the path begins with one or more …/ constructions, then that means “jump up one layer of the hierarchy (one per …/) and then start looking for the following structure.”
Next, have a peer at any CSS files they have given you. You may find references to images there, and they may be relative. In that case, they are relative to the location of CSS file, not the HTML page that will ultimately reference it. This is a common sight:
.widget {
background-image: url(../images/widget.png);
}
That tells you that you have to add an /images folder in the same level of the page hierarchy as the folder containing your css file, and that css file is not just hanging out bare in the same folder as your page.
/htdocs
page_with_table.html
/css
data-table.css
other-freeway.css
/images
widget.png
index.html
/Resources
_clear.gif
other-freeway.png
Hope this helps,
Walter

Many thanks Walter.
The reason I’m looking at this plug-in is because I wanted the table to be filterable and also like the pagination and search features which would be extremely helpful to me.
I’m aware of the conflict issues but was hoping that if I keep the page otherwise just containing text and images I might get away with it. I trust this is not just blissful ignorance on my part.
You may recall me posting on the subject of tables some time ago. Unfortunately health issues intervened, so I’m hoping for better luck this time!
I do have further questions on Jquery and datatables which I’m hoping you/ others may be able to assist me with, if I may. Chiefly about where all the datatable files go in my FW folder. Can’t find any instructions anywhere!
Thanks again.
