Running DataTables on DOM

kevinpunya

Thanks for a great product! I ventured into this when I saw the functions it has.

I have already a table created with DOM; and I've manage to port in your DataTables into it and the theme support, sorting and searching and all is really awesome to use=)

However, I have some problems here, as I custom my table to load data directly to the table, once I added something into the table, it will sort and search without the latest record.

I tried to use the fnAddData to add them in but my custom functions done on the row and cells will be gone =/

I've checked the innerHTML and the new rows are in the table, but I can't get it to be sorted or searched on.

Any advice would be appreciated =)

Sounds like you need to use a delegated or live event handler: http://datatables.net/faqs#events . Also worth checking http://datatables.net/faqs#append in case that is the issue. If neither of then, then can you post a test case showing the issue please ( http://live.datatables.net ).

Hey thanks Allan for the response.

I'll need to tinker with the codes and find out further, the APPEND part you mentioned is what I'm facing now, if only I know how to add it like the way you add them then I can add in correctly.

I see if I can post a test case later on, I'm still fresh on this jquery thingy and I'm still learning how to use it =)

Hi Allan,

Thanks for taking time to look at this =)

I have a simple page created at http://live.datatables.net/irodom/20

It's like the page I have, running on simple DOM, but I would like to incorporate the items in the Data Table together with this; is there any advice you can give me on this case?

Thanks a bunch!
