tables().nodes()

Since: DataTables 1.10

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.

Type

function tables().nodes()

Description:: Get the table nodes
Returns:: DataTables.Api

DataTables API instance with the table nodes from the selected tables in the result set.

Example

Add a class to all main table nodes:

var tables = new DataTable('.dataTable', {
	scrollX: '100%'
});

tables
	.tables()
	.nodes()
	.to$()
	.addClass('highlight');
