Select plugin no longer works on parent DT when using destroy on a child row Datatable

david_kimery

I have a few pages where the child row contains another Datatable. I thought when closing the child row it would be best practice to destroy the api instance of that Datatable. It seemed to work just fine, no errors, but I noticed that the Select plugin quits working on the parent Datatable.

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Here you go. You will see the select plugin working until you open and close a child row, then the select quits working.

Try the technique used in this blog for destroying the child. I updated your test case here:

Thank you! That worked like a charm and will simplify my code base.
