How to use rowspan and colspan in tbody using datatable.js?

Question

Whenever I use , I get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property \'_DT_CellIndex\'

Answer 1

I don't know at what point, but I guess the fnFakeRowspan does not support the current DataTable version.

For an alternative, checkout RowsGroup plugin.

Found it pretty easy to implement and works well. Searching works perfectly, ordering doesn't.

Check here for an implementation.
