CloudTable vs DataTables

inkratas

Hello, if I use CloudTables to host some tables, can I interact with those hosted tables using the jQuery and JS code examples found in the DataTables site?

I'm noticing a lot of HTML table markup where people submit their test cases in the DataTables forum, but I'm confused because mine are rendered behind a CloudTables script tag and they are not rendered out on the DOM for jQuery to interact with, as I see on these fiddle.js and live.datatables.net sandboxes.

What am I missing here? If I want to add jQuery functionality to my tables, is CloudTable off the table? (Pun intended)

Thanks!

Hi,

Roughly 99.9% of the posts in this forum are DataTables rather than CloudTables, which is why there is a little bit of a disconnect there.

You are 100% right that CloudTables is embedded via a script tag and then the Javascript injects the DataTable into the page.

CloudTables is basically a UI front end to configure DataTables, Editor, the database and all server-side code. It is a low-code solution for working with DataTables. You can however still work with the DataTables API, the method for that is documented here.

What functionality are you looking to add to your CloudTable?
