How to export multiple rows in header with colspan

Moonface

I have a DataTable that has multi-row table header with colspan. However when I use the TableTools plugin it's exporting only last header row. I would like to ask how to fix it?

There is no help so I will give an example:

[code]



Header 1
Header 1
Header 1
Header 1
Header 1


Header 2
Header 2
Header 2
Header 2
Header 2
Header 2




2004
example
1795
42,1
140
45,8
1935
42,3



[/code]

So when I using TableTools it's only exporting last row of header (in this example it's: Header 2) and content of a table (tbody). Can someone help me please?

Currently TableTools will export the unique header element that DataTables has found for each column only (i.e. the column with the sort event handler / icon). It would require a modification to TableTools in order to so colspan/rowspan in the export. That also isn't compatible with CSV and the Excel output would need to do a real XLS file rather than a CSV one. So quite a bit of work required to do it - but I'm sure its possible.
