Blog example, ajax loaded row details as new datatable/editor instance

crush123

Further to the blog entry https://datatables.net/blog/2017-03-31, i have created a parent/child row setup as orders/order details, so that the order details are loaded via ajax into a table in the child row.

http://test2.forthwebsolutions.com/hutch4dmin/orders.php

This works well, but the table ajax content is read only.

I would love to be able to load the order details as a datatable/editor so i can edit its content.

The blog post suggests this can be done, but I can't see an example - any help appreciated

There isn't an example provided of that - its an exercise left to the reader

The success callback is where you would add any extra configuration. For example if json.html includes an HTML table you could simply do:

            div
                .html( json.html )
                .removeClass( 'loading' );

            div.find('table').DataTable();

I gotcha

i am loading a json data object, exactly the same format as if it were a datatable source, and building the html table in javascript on the client side.

not an expert at this, what i have works, so will make do wth a readonly version for now
