Description
DataTables and its plug-ins can create additional tables in the document. For example when scrolling is enabled, the table is split into three individual tables, the header, footer and body in order to provide cross-browser scrolling, while FixedHeader / FixedColumns create cloned tables for static positioning.
This method, and its singular counterpart, are provided to give easy access to the original tbody
elements for DOM manipulation.
