tables().nodes()
Get the table
nodes for the tables in the API's context.
Description
DataTables and its plug-ins can create additional table
elements 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). However, you may wish to obtain the original table node that belongs to the DataTable. This method, and its singular counterpart, is provided for that purpose.
