<h1>DataTables example
<span>Row selection
</span></h1>
<div class="info">
<p>When you want to have user selectable rows in DataTables, it is relatively trivial when using DOM
based data - but when using server-side processing, DataTables doesn't retain DOM row elements over
pages / filtering etc. As such, you will need to keep a track of which rows a user as selected and mark
them as selected on each draw.
</p>
<p>This is shown in this demo, which uses a unique ID assigned to the TR element (this is done
automatically through the use of the
<code>DT_RowId
</code> special property returned as part of the
object given by the server for each row) to track which rows are selected and reselect them is
appropriate on a draw.

<p>The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this
example:

$(

": true,

files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown
below:
