Hi there,
we are using the datatables plug-in in a single page application where we have build our own history functionality.
After doing a history.back to a side with a datatables plug-in the table still looks fine but all datatable events are lost.
Is there a way to set all required datatable events once again?
Thanks in advance, best regards, Frank.

Events as in
draw? If your custom listeners have been removed, they would need to be readded.Allan
Hi Allan,
thanks for your reply.
Not my custom listeners are missing, all the default listener of the datatables pug-in itself are missing.
I'm looking for a way to restore all datatables events. In principle the opposite of the Methode destroy().

That would be a reinitialisation of the table
$(...).DataTable().Can you link to a page showing the issue?
Allan
Unfortunately not, because it is a local application.
A reinitialisation is for several reasons not possible.
I was hopful that there is a way the set only the datatables events.
The rest is working fine (html, css). Just the datatable Events are missing.
I don't really understand how it would get into that state I'm afraid. Does that happen in all browsers? I don't know why it would retain all its functionality minus the event listeners. There is no simple method to tel DataTables to add its event listeners again since that is a very unexpected state to be in.
