Hide and collapse row data when too much data
Hide and collapse row data when too much data
Hi, everyone
I use datatables in a project and initialize it via an ajax request. In my case it can happen that there is a lot of data (up to 50 entries) in a row, as can be seen in the example. The whole content is a single string which is formatted to HTML in the backend.
I would like to implement the possibility for the user to collapse and expand the row data to provide a better overview. In fact, the first entry is truly important. I would like to do the whole thing via a link or something similar, which is at the bottom of the row. I need this function for two columns in my table.
I've seen solutions to similar problems, but unfortunately they didn't help me with my project.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi kthorngren,
thank you very much for your answer and I apologize for the long response time. Your answer was definitely in the right direction, but unfortunately it wasn't exactly what I needed. I solved it very easily with a div collapse.
Many greetings
Pav
