How to get original table HTML source?

mcksco

I'm looking to obtain the original HTML source for a table I've applied Datatables to. That is, all rows and columns (including column headers) without the additional markup that Datatables applies.

Does Datatables hold onto this information (for paging etc)? The only other way I can think of doing this would be to put the original table markup into a variable before calling .Datatables but this would be take up client side memory which I wouldn't be keen to do.

Thanks
