Editor can be a very strong and robust tool, no doubt. You can also, however, update the cells with regular DOM manipulation (from scratch, using x-editable, etc), post to the server via AJAX, and then update the Datatable instance such that the data stored reflects the changes made. For the latter portion check out the invalidate() and draw() methods.

yeah thanks friends ..i tried to use jquery and some events ..now i made my own version of 'Editable DataTable' and its working 100%

way to go!

it can be cumbersome and a headache to keep up with all the changes and ensuring the integrity between data in DT and the DOM, but unless you're doing full fledged data entry it's certainly a potentially better option than jumping headlong into Editor.

best of luck-
