fnUpdate in DataTables for Dynamic Data

ronnjoe

Hi,

Please help to verify why fnUpdate not working for dynamically generated dataTable. But instead it works fine for static dataTable.

Here is the fiddle for dynamically generated dataTable http://jsfiddle.net/ronnjoe/hMEFp/46/

Here is the fiddle for static dataTable http://jsfiddle.net/ronnjoe/hMEFp/48/

Thanks,
Joe

Hi ronnjoe,

When you are using dynamic (i.e. server-side) data you have to make adjustments to the original data source and reapply that onto the DataTable, like so:

    $('#test').click(function() {
        rowData[1].dep = "Mech"; // Update the value
        DT.fnUpdate(rowData[1],1); // Rebind the specific row
    })

Hope this helps,

Hi Ashbjorn,

Thanks for your help and it actually worked out well for me. Your suggestion made me think in another direction and updated the aoData index and appending to the table

Thanks,
Joe
