Preamble

Often when using server-side processing you will find that it can be useful to have a specific ID on each row (the row ID from the database for example). By assigning the ID you want to apply to each row using the property DT_RowId of the data source object for each row, DataTables will automatically add it for you. Likewise there is a DT_RowClass option which will add your given class. This example shows both and is a trivial modification of the server-side script to add these two options, with no changes on the client-side.

Live example

Initialisation code

$(document).ready(function() {
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		"bProcessing": true,
		"bServerSide": true,
		"sAjaxSource": "scripts/id.php"
	} );
} );
