Hi,

This has already been fixed in the nightly version and will be included in the 1.10.9 release.

Hi,

Looks like there's still a problem with rows().invalidate(), even with the nightly build. Anyway, I can't understand why this test case doesn't work:

https://jsfiddle.net/g3dok19h/1/

In it, you'll see that:

• it's using the nightly build version
• I adapted your own example at http://datatables.net/reference/api/rows%28%29.invalidate%28%29
• I use jquery's $.merge function, so that the reference to the original data array is still valid

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Patrick

The issue is that $.merge is adding the two names "Fred" and "Fiona" as new elements in the array. DataTables doesn't track the original array, just the objects in it.

If you were to change the data in those objects then it works as expected.

Thanks Allan, you're the best.

I needed to change all objects in the array, I ended up using:
table.rows().remove().rows.add(data).draw();
