Search

Searching as in using the global DataTables filter? If so, then the data would need to be included in hidden columns as the child rows have no effect on the table filtering. Allan

@allan: I've found it's not your fault (which is perhaps another way of saying it is mine) :-) adding rowdata containing strings to the table where columns are numeric is probably the reason sorting is having an issue... :-)

looking for was a table solution with vertical scrolling...

Here's my entire script: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { var table = $('#tblForecast').DataTable({ "sPaginationType": "full_numbers", "bJQueryUI": true, "fnDrawCallback": calculateTotal, "bPaginate": true, "iDisplayLength": 100 }); //end table init $('#monthFilter').change(function () { var name = $("#monthFilter option:selected").text(); if (name !== "No Filter") { table.column(7).search(name).draw(); } else { table.column(7).search("").draw(); } }); //end change });//end ready </script>

want to repopiulated my table with new data based

@Ficos: According to the console, the first item in the table returns this data for its child: {"aaData":[{"id":"5806","FAKTUURNR":"3719","SOORT":"68","OMSCHRIJVING":"jaaraangifte omzetbelasting","FISCJR":"2012","NETTO":"75","BTWCODE":"1","BTW":"15.75"},{"id":"5807","FAKTUURNR":"3719","SOORT":"200","OMSCHRIJVING":"informatieverstrekking","FISCJR":"","NETTO":"22","BTWCODE":"1","BTW":"4.62"},{"id":"5808","FAKTUURNR":"3719","SOORT":"300","OMSCHRIJVING":"aangifte inkomstenbelasting","FISCJR":"2011","NETTO":"160","BTWCODE":"1","BTW":"33.6"}]} But your alert asks for something else: alert(data[1].OMSCHRIJVING); But I might be misunderstanding the chain of events.

turns that into a table, which is what it

You will have to add code to check the table row index of the selected row and use that to add the selected class to the cloned Fixed Column table.

Try var table = $('#example').DataTable({ columnDefs: [ {bSortable: false, targets: [1,2]} ] }); Here is a working example: http://live.datatables.net/nuhigax/1/edit

Oups table didnt paste here it is,table class="display" id="example" style="width:980px;"...
