I am using the below link to show and hide rows using datatables plugin. But I get wierd error script error JavaScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'row'. I debugged and found that there is data in tr. what might be the wrong here?

I am experiencing the same error.

I should note that I am doing server-side processing, I don't know if that means anything.

Any solution ? I lost most of my hair in last two days debugging this code. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Two days could have been saved, if you had read the second top FAQ.

Wow, thanks for the tip, but you don't think that having two completely different object types differentiated only by a single capital letter isn't a recipe for confusion??

Possibly. I did consider calling the new API one dataTablesApi and maybe I should have done. The reason I picked what I did was for simplicity (although that might only be apparent simplicity) - jQuery plug-ins, by convention use lowercase and return a jQuery object. In Javascript, "classes" are created with an Uppercase name, so I felt the differentiation would be useful and easy. I might have got it wrong!
