$(...).DataTable(...).rows is not a function

Question

I added to my project the jquery.dataTables.min.js (1.10.3 version) (called js1 for convenience) to use DataTable().rows().nodes() function (and others) and its works fine.

Now, I'm trying to implement a nested table with Datatable plugin, here the jsfiddle (in the same page of my project).

As you can see in the fiddle is used:

http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.0/jquery.dataTables.min.js (called js2 for convenience)

that is different from js1.

This two different plugin serve both. Because without js1 I get this error:

Using $(...).DataTable(...).rows is not a function or $(...).dataTable(...).rows is not a function I always get the same error.

Without js2 nested table in the jsfiddle does not work.

So, I added both two plugins to my page. But I get the error (.row is not ...) yet.

See the new jsfiddle with the error.

the .DataTable() contructor returns the new api introduced in 1.10.

To have the old functionality, use the .dataTable() constructor.

If you need both the new api functionality and the old one, you can use the .dataTable() constructor to create your table object and use the new api like this: myTable.api().whateverFunction()

Can you give me more information about myTable.api().whateverFunction()? – Dave Jan 05 '16 at 14:07
Look at [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/25216454/15089) for a more detailed description of .dataTable() vs. .DataTable(). – Attila Szasz Jan 05 '16 at 14:11
.api() works only if I don't use js2.. Otherwise I get ".api().. is not a function.." – Dave Jan 05 '16 at 15:30
Yes, because in your case js1 is the datatables version 1.10. – Attila Szasz Jan 05 '16 at 15:32

I get the same error with the same version.

I "fix" it doing the following steps

Step 1

Open console in your web

Step 2

Create a variable of your dataTable

Ex:

    var p = $('#my_table').dataTable();

Step 3

Now you write "p" and a dot and you have all of the aviable functions. I dont know why but I have differents names of the functions. I just search what I need.

Hope may help.

I don't understand the Step 3 – Dave Jan 05 '16 at 11:29
In the console, write "p" (the name of the variable) and a dot "p." and will appear all of the functions. – Itipacs Jan 05 '16 at 11:43
mmm looking for the solution I found this try it: $('#my_table').dataTable().DataTable().rows(); – Itipacs Jan 05 '16 at 12:00

This worked for me...

var table = $('#myDataTableuser2349').dataTable()
var data = table.fnGetData()
console.log("data",data);
