Greets all ... new user here - i've searched the archives but am not sure I've found all relevant posts - due mainly to different terms used by the community.

I'm looking for what i've always called 'parent child' functions - where a grid start off showing the upper level view - say 'Clients' and presents link that allows the view to drill down to children - say 'Orders'. (or Parent = Orders | Child = Items)

How well supported (if at all) is the sort of feature?

thx

    Hi justSteve,

    Do you mean something like this: http://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html . If so then this is provided for using the fnOpen() and fnClose() API functions: http://datatables.net/api . It's worth nothing that each 'parent' row can only have one child in DataTables, and children can't themselves have children. This is a limitation that I hope to address in a future release (some day... :-) ).

    Regards,
    Allan
