Datatable within the row details of another table
Datatable within the row details of another table

Hi Alan,
We just started using DataTables (the latest 1.8.2) and really like all the different features. It's a nice plugin.
We want to use the show/hide details capability. I have it working for a simple example, but we would like to use it in a bit of a different way. When the icon/row is clicked, we want to be able to show another DataTable (with very different columns) in the details section. I could achieve this manually by creating a table similar to the example, but is there a way to initialize another DataTable? My first attempt at this did not work. In the 'fnFormatDetails' I attempted to return a newly created DataTable, but nothing displayed. Any ideas?
Also, setting the column widths with aoColumnDefs does not appear to be working. I saw on some previous posts that it was having issues in 1.7.x, but I am also seeing it in 1.8.2
Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have.
