Table with multiple rows for each row

thedlade

Hello, is it possible to get a table with multiple rows like this: http://i.imgur.com/HMbYzpo.png

Hi thedlade,

AFAIK DataTables does not support this kind of behavior in the tbody though it does have some options for Complex Headers.

I am not sure if @Allan even changed his mind on this kind of support, but it might not be likely, as indicated in this post here

There has been efforts for a plugin that facilitates a somewhat similar manner of achieving the appearance of a span here: Plugin: FakeRowSpan.

Lastly you could probably achieve this by applying a formatter for your data and use clever CSS tricks to recreate that layout that you linked.

Hope this helps,

thedlade

Thanks Ashbjorn, I'll check out fakerowspan

Yes, I've not changed my position of this. You could apply some kind of post processing to the table after each draw to get a table like what you want, but fundamentally, in DataTables each row is independent of the others.

I use the datatables plugin that lets you expand a row, add a child row, works great

thedlade

allan, I might try that but if it takes too much time, I'll try another method

jhyland87, how do you keep that row expanded by default?

If the row is "open" (row().child()), it will automatically stay open.
