DataTables - Expand Child details without using Ajax

Question

I\'m working on a page that uses jquery DataTables (version 1.10). The TableData source is currently being sent as just an HTML table on the rendered page, and works perfect. Ho

Answer 1

Whoever ends up here. I know this question has already an accepted answer, but it didn't work for me. What worked for me: I used exact example from here: https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html Only thing I changed is

 $(document).ready(function() {
    var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
    "ajax": "../ajax/data/objects.txt", <-- this line I changed

To

 $(document).ready(function() {
    var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
    "data": <%-JSON.stringify(data.table)%>,

I used ejs so I sent data from server-side and in html I could use <%= data %>, which had the table, but in html script I had to use data.table like this:

<%-JSON.stringify(data.table)%>
