Dynamic Rowspan

nsuarezvalderrama

Hi, has anyone managed to draw dynamic rowspan in DataTable?

The HTML requirements docs state this:

Please also note that while DataTables supports colspan and rowspan in the table's header and footer, they are not supported in the table's tbody and must not be present.

Thanks kthorngren, but that is the problem, I need rowspan in the tbody and don't find a way for solve that problem,

Maybe we can offer alternatives. What are you trying to do with the rowspan? Maybe you can build a non-datatable example of what you are trying to do.

Datatables expects a one-to-one mapping of cells in the rows and columns to perform the Datatables functions like sorting and searching. This is why rowspan and colspan aren't supported in the tbody.

Yep, colspan isn't supported - see the manual:

Please also note that while DataTables supports colspan and rowspan in the table's header and footer, they are not supported in the table's tbody and must not be present.

Maybe the RowGroup extension will do what you want.
