How to build complex table with colspan and rowspan

Hi all!
I've just started using datatable for a few days and now I have this problem.
I must build a table with structure like this

And I want to use ajax to load dynamic data.
I've search through the example page and I only find example of colspan on existing DOM table.
I've tried to build DOM table as well but I don't know how to build empty table and efficiently pass ajax data to that.
So have anyone met this problem ? Can I build this table with aoColumn and aoColumnDefs ? Or can I build an empty DOM table and pass data to it ?
Thanks for all your helps

    You need to create the DOM header with colspan / rowspan yourself. DataTables won't do that. Standard jQuery / DOM methods should do it.
