Automatically merge cells

Hi everybody,

I would like to make my cells merge in the first column where the text in the cell above is the same, etc. Just wondering if this is possible and if there are any plugins available for that?

Thank you,
Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

    I don't think there is one exactly like that - however there is this one which might serve as a useful basis: http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/row_grouping.html . I plan to do something along those lines with a FixedColumns example in the next few days as well.

    Hi,

    It sounds like you're talking about rowspan and if so then perhaps this plugin might help you:
    http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnFakeRowspan

    That plugin however only works with server-side processing but if you don't use that perhaps you can build something that works for you from it.

    Regards.
