I am using the Datatable plugin
http://www.datatables.net/examples/basic_init/zero_configuration.html
to populate the table I use jquery .html() function and pass the table content to it .
the problem is after the data is appended to the table all the sort , paginate and search functions are not working anymore , each change on these removes the data from the table .
can anyone help me with this problem please ?
thank you
You can use an alternate method to add the data to the table using the row.add functionality of the Datatable.
Here's the code:
JQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
var t = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#addRow').on( 'click', function () {
t.row.add( ['a','b','c','d','e'] ).draw();
} );
} );
HTML
<button id="addRow">Add</button>
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
<th>Column 4</th>
<th>Column 5</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
You can keep the visibility of the table hidden during the start and once the data is populated, show the table.
