DataTables 1.10.1

DataTables CDN files for DataTables 1.10.1. This software was originally released on 15th July, 2014.

Release notes

This is the first bug fix release of the DataTables 1.10 series. Since its release at the start of May this year, 1.10 has proven to be very successful, particularly the new API and naming scheme and this release builds upon that foundation.

Primarily focused on addressing issues that have been found since the 1.10.0 release, there are 32 individual fixes in this release (see below for details). There are also a number of new features, primarily focusing on rounding off the API, including the new state() methods. New styling options have also been added to make the default stylesheet more flexible.

Enjoy!

New features

New: Instance methods for a data source are now executed in the scope of that instance
New: Cell styling classes for alignment of text
New: state API methods
- state() - get the last saved state

New: State staving object structure is now full documentated
New: compact and no-wrap styling classes for the DataTables stylesheet
New: row().child() when given with a class, the class is added to the tr element as well as the td element
New: Add table().container() and tables().containers() methods to get the container div elements for table(s)
New: row().child.remove() and row().child().remove() methods to provide the ability to remove and destroy child rows

Fixes

Fix: Performance - API each() itterator uses for loop now
Fix: If filtering data is null, undefined or NaN it is not included in the filter
Fix: createdCell cellData prarameter now passes in the original data for the cell
Fix: cell() was not selecting cells for row index 0
Fix: With deferred rendering enabled a DOM sourced table would create new nodes rather than using the exisiting one. It should be noted that deffered rendering with a DOM sourced table is completely redundant, but it should still use the same nodes.
Fix: Boolean type searching
Fix: camelCase notation for column search options (searchCols) wasn't working
Fix: IE destroying nodes which have a Javascritp reference on using innerHTML
Fix: Nested DataTables could have their events interfear with the parent tables
Fix: When storing a column's width, DataTables was truncating the CSS unit identifer to a single character (e.g. 12px was held as 12p). This caused issues with column size adjustment
Fix: Use self:: for static method references in SSP class
Fix: Percentage columns detected as date columns in Chrome
Fix: Event methods automatic addition of .dt namespace was greedy
Fix: number renderer displayed numbers incorrectly for negative numbers
Fix: Memory leak with child rows in a table that is destroyed
Fix: Remove API "build" code. That was part of the API prototype and the design moved away from that approach. The code was redundant and unused.
Fix: Row selector for page:all, order:index, search:applied was returning the data in index 1 only
Fix: number rendering helper couldn't use anything thing other than a dot (.) as the decimal place
Fix: IE9 throws an error when using document.activeElement in a frame
Fix: Remove redundant code from the column visiblity method
Fix: Link to serverSide in selector-modifier.xml
Fix: Custom filter was running through the rows in reverse
Fix: Hold the scrolling position if holding the draw position
Fix: IE8 events error
Fix: Remove escaping of quotes for search input
Fix: Length menu language with wrapper element wasn't correctly populated
Fix: Invalidation of DOM sourced rows caused a memory leak
Fix: Support escaping objects with more than one dot
Fix: Search via the API wasn't populating the search input
Fix: Compatiblity with jQuery 1.7.x
Fix: sorting as 1D array didn't get indexing correct
Fix: Column ordering state saving was being flatten
