Row details function without row IDs

Cat

I'm fairly new to webdevelopment and can read/write html but have very little php, js and mysql experience, I've modified the datatables server_side/simple.html example according to my databased and styled it to suit my needs, everything works fine, but now I'm trying to add the server_side/row_details.html functionality to my DataTable and after hours of work I just end up breaking my DataTable repeatedly without any error message to give me a hint of what I'm doing wrong

Based on a standard server_side/simple.html example, what exactly do I need to add/change to simply allow for additional information to appear at the click of a button? It does not need to remember whether the child row was open or not between page changes (I may add a function to open/close all child rows later anyway) which as far as I can see is what the row ID is for, so I guess it doesn't need to have row IDs. I simply want to display extra info from the database when a button is pressed the simplest way possible

Any help on how to do this will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance~

Are you talking about this:

http://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html

and, if so, how far have you got? Showing your code or linking to a page showing the problem would be best.

Yes, that's it :) but the server-side version of it.

But nevermind it though, I think I got it working now...
instead, my current problem is now this: http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/23079/server-side-row-details-repositioning-the-click-column

Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for the help :)
