Sorting DataTable after Values have changed on the Client side - Not working

mitciv

Hey Guys,

So, I've got a data table that has its values changing on a button click, the values are all changing on the client side, and all I want to do is be able to sort the table.

What I've tried:

Create the datatable, and do nothing else -- Didn't work, after a button click and the values changed if I hit a table header to sort it the values all went back to the original values.

After button click to change the values call fnDraw() on the data table -- Didn't work, on the button click it reset the values back to what they were originally set to.

After the button click to change the values, destroy the datatable (fnDestroy) then recreate it -- Didn't work, on the button click it added the new values but also kept the old values, resulting in twice as many rows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Did you use fnUpdate()?

I was trying to avoid using it, as not every row gets updated and there is quite a bit of code involved to loop through and grab every table cell value and store it in an array, and then find the TR thats associated with the row I wanted to update.

I mean I can do that, I just figured there was a much more elegant way to update the table with its new values.
