Hierarchical DataTable

MadhuSudhan

Hi All,
I have two categories to be shown in a single grid. I want to display a data of categories and then be able to 'drill down' into a row by clicking on + button. On clicking a + button, nested rows of Profiles should appear for the Category. Is this possible using DataTables? In simple words can I created Hierarchical Grid using DataTables. If possible please let me know how to implement. I am completely new to Jquey and DataTables.

Thank you in Advance,
Madhu

Yes it is possible,

You'll have to have rows open/close and put whatever data you want in them.

you can also retrieve the data from server or something alike.

first go over the current documentation so you'll get an idea of whats going on.

Second check http://datatables.net/api

it has most of what you need there.

In particular :
fnClose - fnIsClose();
fnOpen - fnIsOpen();

And
