Change Row Data With Javascript

MightyCodder

I am looking to be able to often change row data with JavaScript depending on results supplied by a socket connection.

I was just wondering what the best way to do this without compromising too much performance.

Should I delete the whole table, then repopulate it with the newly supplied array?

use [code]fnUpdate[/code] this way You'll change row data or specific cell.

[code]
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
oTable.fnUpdate( 'Example update', 0, 0 ); // Single cell
oTable.fnUpdate( ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 1, 0 ); // Row
} );
[/code]

You can see this working in inline-editing.

Thanks to Allan for putting this together

Thanks allot for the help. From now, I have all the features to start implementing datatables into my project.

I was actually searching for "edit row" & "modify row" in the documentation rather then update. Problem solved.
