Thanks @kthorngren... That's interesting..

I'm note sure this is what you really want but the foratTwo() function will need to build both tables. The reason is you are calling row().child().show() when clicking on the salary column. For example: https://jsfiddle.net/noszdw0c/22/ If you just want to append the salary, for example, to the child then you can do something like this example: https://jsfiddle.net/9pL8xdv2/2/ Kevin

Hi @larrybud , This example here should help. Here, the export is using columns.render to convert a checkbox in the table, to a "Y" or "N" in the export. You could do a similar thing in that render function, returning the name or number based on the selection. Hope that does the trick, Cheers, Colin

Thanks kthorngren! Worked a charm.

can offer some help. Information on how to create

As for the sorting I figured it out as you said (thanks!), I'll post it here for reference : { "targets": 0, "render": function ( data, type, row, meta ) { console.log(data.split('%')[0]); return type === 'sort' ? data.split('/')[0] : data; } }

Thanks colin

Personally, I'd probably create a function that would add the event handlers, and would accept the function for the specific event as its own argument (the table id and any other relevant variables as well). Allan

AHH! If it was in a PHP double quoted string (") then it would need to be changed to be single quotes (') to have PHP not try to expand a variable (denoted by the $). Fantastic to hear you've got it sorted out! Allan

Allan, Thanks for your suggestion. It does seem to be the straightforward was of handling this. Thanks, Tom
