Child Row Info Fetched by Ajax from Other Table

ayz

As per this, where you say "...possibly including, for example, an Ajax call to the server to obtain any extra information." Can you possibly share a jsbin that does this?

I wrote a blog post about it a little while back. I'll add a link from the example.

Thanks: I'm wondering how this would work with responsive option on. When you expand, would it immediately show the present but hidden columns whilst awaiting the ajax response for the pulled in info which I would like to put in a div?

allan

If you are using Responsive, you either want to change Responsive's default so it doesn't use a child row or change your details display to not use a child row. Having two different orthogonal uses of the child row doesn't work well I'm afraid.

So it should be possible to create something like a bootstrap popover from the clicked row for the ajax sourced data, leaving default responsive child row behaviour?

allan

Absolutely. Typically for that kind of thing I've seen a column with a "Details" link or button which when clicked will launch a popover.
