patch: tbody grouping support

herbert

hi all

i've created a patch against datatables 1.8.1 to support multiple tbody-tags with ignored (colspan'ed) rows.
this patch adds support for tbody "groups":
[code]
....
tbody
tr (data)
td (data)
td (data)
tr (ignored)
td (colspan=2)
tbody
tr (data)
td (data)
td (data)
tr (ignored)
td (colspan=2)
....
[/code]

the patch:

please let me know if there are any issues or better ways of doing things like cloning.

Oooo - I like the look of this. Do you have a link to an example for us so we can see it running?

Thanks,
Allan
