Reattach DataTables after AJAX load?

Gremlyn1

So I am trying to figure out how to reattach my DataTables event handlers to tables that have been called up through AJAX (not just the data, whole tables). I'm pretty new to AJAX and all this event handler stuff, so I'm slowly working my way through. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Gremlyn1,

Two options:

Using fnGetNodes to get a node array that you can attach events to: http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/events_post_init.html
Using jQuery Live events: http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live#typefn

You might find this bookmarklet useful for dealing with debugging of events (seeing if they are attached or not): http://sprymedia.co.uk/article/Visual+Event
