Row details assign DOM object and not html

smitchell

I'm trying to get the example from the forums to work

http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/2812/row-details-assign-dom-object-and-not-html/p1

var nNew = oTable.fnOpen( nTr, '' );
nNew.getElementsByTagName('td')[0].appendChild( MyDiv );

I keep getting an error:
Uncaught Error: NotFoundError: DOM Exception 8

It doesn't look like your live.datatables.net example is doing very much, as there isn't a table called #datatable. If I add such a table, then I get a Javascript error when trying to open a row due to this line:

> oTable.getElementsByTagName('td')[0].appendChild('order_details');

And right enough, getElementsByTagName is not a DataTables or jQuery API method. Do you not want something like `$('td', nNew).append( 'order details' )` ?
