I think I was wrong about that:it looks like you can inject a specific
id into a table element with attr_html; I must've misunderstood
something I'd read.  So the following should work too, and does not
abuse the class attribute.

#+title: Org Tables to DataTables
#+html_doctype: html5
#+html_head: <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.min.js"></script>
#+html_head: <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.1.8/js/dataTables.min.js"></script>
#+html_head: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.1.8/css/dataTables.dataTables.min.css" />
#+html_head: <script>$(document).ready(function () {$('table#example').DataTable();});</script>
#+html_head: <script>$(document).ready(function () {$('table#another-example').DataTable({lengthMenu: [3, {label: 'All', value: -1}]});});</script>

This is an example table.

#+attr_html: :id example :class cell-border hover compact :width 100%
| Name        | Position         | Office        |
|-------------+------------------+---------------|
| Tiger Nixon | System Architect | Edinburgh     |
| Ashton Cox  | Technical Author | San Francisco |

This is another example table.

#+attr_html: :id another-example :class display
| Author            | Title                   | Shelf |

| Desai, Kiran      | The inheritance of loss | D3B   |
