Close Open Details Rows When New Details Icon is Clicked

From the example: http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/row_details.html

Is it possible to only have one details row open at a time? The example allows multiple hidden rows to be open simultaneously.

Thanks, David.

    Yup - I use exactly that technique in my Editor display controller tutorial: http://editor.datatables.net/tutorials/display_controllers . The "trick" is to find out if there are any open rows when you want to open a new row, and if so, close them.

    [code]
    var openRows = table.fnSettings().aoOpenRows;
    [/code]
