Align footers of two side-by-side datatables

Align footers of two side-by-side datatables

Hi,

One short question: I have to tables (parent/child) side-by-side. Is there a possibilty to align the footers, so that they are positioned also side-by-side if one of the tables contains less/more rows then the other table, so essentially the tables amount of rows is always fixed and filled up with empty rows?

Thanks a lot,

Ben

    Hi Ben,

    You would need to use drawCallback or draw and inside that function check page.info() to determine if more rows need to be added. If so, you can just use jQuery or DOM methods to append the rows to the table. They will be automatically removed by DataTables on the next draw if required.
