row details example

Phil H

Hi Allan,

I like the look of the row_detail example and would like to use this to describe some data, Can you tell me how to add data elements to the expanded detail ... in the example you use 2 of the fields from the visible table ...if I want to add detail that is not in the visible table do I need to define and add some hidden columns.

Would it be possible to update the example to show how detail that is not in the visible table is displayed in the dropdown detail

Many thanks in advance Allan

Hi Allan,

I have sorted this out now via trial and error, it is really impressive when working :-). I do think it would be worth adding to the the demo as it really easy once the logic is clear

Again, many thanks

Phil's post was from more than a year ago! Have you had a look at the blog post on how to do exactly this kind of thing: http://datatables.net/blog/Drill-down_rows ?

I got it working :) See the example at www.modeltraintracker.com/sandbox/items.php (user: testuser , password: testuser ).

Has anyone used drill-down with TableTools (csv or clipboard)? How does the drill down data look in the output, if it's included at all?
