- The infinite scrolling feature of DataTables is inadequate as a solution for the problem it is trying to solve as it introduces a number of compatiblity issues with the rest of the API parimarily due to the fact that it "tricks" the rest of DataTables into drawing just a small proportion of the table, leaving the elements which are currently in place. This means that DataTables doesn't realise that the table has additional rows at the top of the table, thus breaking numerous interactions with the API and confusing developers. As such, its a poor feature that is just taking up space and could be done much better externally. - I will write an infinite loading feature for DataTables in future for users that do what to use this ability - there is nothing stopping a simple scroll event being attached to the scrolling element and calling the rows.add() function. This is exactly what the new plug-in will do. - Scroller is a much better solution for defined length tables.
