DataTables doesnt appear to work with rowspan

georgeforster

Hi,

I have created a table that has some columns linked with rowspan, this seems to stop the table from working

Here is the page

When I remove the section with rowspan everything is good

Is there something that I am missing?

This is correct. If you search the forum for "rowspan" you'll find a number of other discussions where I confirm this. DataTables does not currently support rowspan or colspan in the table border I'm afraid.

OK Thanks Allan, is it something that is on a todo list for future enhancements?

Its a pipedream. I would like to include it, but I suspect it would take a lot of work and there are other things that I plan to implement before then.

The issue is that it makes sorting and filtering really complex since it needs to alter the DOM to add and remove rows and columns.
