Thanks Allan. Stupidly, I HAD added the linked table id value (as a foreign key from the parent table) to the Editor ajax page, but not to the editor instance itself. Sweet.

OK, thanks. But i have in my table grouped th in thead. Something like this: http://i61.tinypic.com/34fl63d.png. How to setup dataTable options to get this effect?

to search the existing table, potentially with complex SQL

td').eq($(this).index()).text(); $(this).html(''); }); // DataTable var table = $('#JdtLeads').DataTable(); // Apply the search

Ah but the thing is no table is actually destroyed, its simply detached from the page using jquery's detach method. No need to fret about it, I've redesigned my implementation.

Allan, may have answered my own question, it looks like I need to do a .draw() after updating the table.

To check that I used the network list of the developer tools (google) but the request tab is empty, the table in the page is also empty. I am moving my server to another machine to make my page accessible.

I figured out what I was missing. I needed to use columns.data like so: var table = $('#summary').DataTable({ "columns": [ {'data': 'device_name'}, {'data': 'sensor_name'}, {'data': 'sensor_value'} ] });

Nope. I am able to sort the table once from 10 entries to 25 entries. But anything else I try to do I get the "processing" message. How to troubleshoot issues like this?
