Multiple child rows

galcott

I've created a table of job listings with a child row that is normally hidden but can be expanded/collapsed as shown in the child row example https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html. The documentation states that a table can have multiple child rows but that they can only be shown/hidden as a group. What I want is another row, between the normal data row and the expandable child, with a single cell spanning all the columns, where I can put several buttons to trigger various actions related to the data in that row. But I want this row to always be shown, rather than be controlled by the expand/collapse. Is there some way to do this without using a child row so I can avoid the limitation of showing/hiding child rows as a group?
