Is there a way to automatically expand the row when using the Responsive Extension?

adromil

I have tried the Responsive Extension and I have been wondering if there is a way to automatically expand the row dataTable is in responsive design so that users don't have to click or tap the corresponding control object assigned.

Not built in, but you could listen for the column-visibility event and trigger the child rows to be shown when the table is collapsed.

Nice idea for a future enhancement in the code though. I'll add it to the list :-)

Hi Allan,

Thank you for your usual prompt response, I have posted a question just right now,
http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/22583/how-to-get-total-rows#latest
asking how to get the total rows to replicate the function:

    function expandrows(oTable) {
        var nTr; 
        var tn = oTable.fnSettings().fnRecordsTotal();
        for(var n=0; n<tn; n++){
            nTr = $('#tblhist tbody td img').parents('tr')[n];
            oTable.fnOpen( nTr, fnFormatDetails(nTr), 'details' );
        }

    }

which I created using the row_details API example.

Your inputs is much appreciated.

Best regards

In addition, using oTable.length API doesn't return the correct number of row in the table, I am also using a server-side source for the dataTables to render.

Thank you very much

Use page.info().
