How to prepopulate the Datatables dom elements/rows

robcha

Is it possible for the Datatable to preLoad all hidden html DOM elments/rows upon initialization of the datatable?
And is it possible to show and hide Datatable rows without them being added and removed dynamically from the DOM?

Yes, you can preload a data table with DOM elements and then overwrite that later. Here is an example:

You could use rowCallback to make rows visible / invisible dynamically.
