<h1>DataTables example <span>Row details</span></h1>
<div class="info">
<p>This example shows the use of DataTables' ability to show and hide child rows which are attached to
a parent row in the host table. This is often used to show additional information about a row,
particularly when you wish to convey more information about a row than there is space for in the host
table.</p>
<p>The example below shows server-side processing being used with the first column having an event
listener attached to it which will toggle the child row's display. This is set up using <a href=
"//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> and <a href=
"//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.defaultContent"><code class="option" title=
"DataTables initialisation option">columns.defaultContent<span>DT</span></code></a>, in combination
with CSS to show an empty cell with a background image which can be clicked upon.</p>
<p>The event handler makes use of the <a href="//datatables.net/reference/api/row().child"><code class=
"api" title="DataTables API method">row().child<span>DT</span></code></a> methods to firstly check if a
row is already displayed, and if so hide it, if not show it. The content of the child row is, in this
example, defined by the <code>formatDetails()</code> function, but you would replace that with whatever
you wanted to show the content required, possibly including, for example, an Ajax call to the server to
obtain the extra information to show. Note that the format details function has access to the full data
source object for the row, including information that is not actually shown in the table (the salary
parameter for example).</p>
<p>Furthermore, this example shows a small difference from the <a href=
"../api/row_details.html">client-side row details example</a> in that to have rows automatically reopen
when the table is redrawn, we need to track a unique identifier for each row - in this case the row
<code>id</code>. This is required because in server-side processing mode rows are automatically
destroyed and recreated on each draw.</p>

<p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this
example:</p>

<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.js">../../media/js/jquery.js</a></li>

<p>The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by
DataTables:</p>

<div class="css">
<div>
<p>This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library
files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown
below:</p><code class="multiline brush: js;">td.details-control {
background: url('../resources/details_open.png') no-repeat center center;
cursor: pointer;
}
tr.details td.details-control {
background: url('../resources/details_close.png') no-repeat center center;

table:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href=

</ul>
</div>
<div class="ajax">
<p>This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data
will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.</p>

<p>The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note
that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side processing scripts can be written in any
