Hello all,

I've done a little work recently implementing plug-in API functions which have been asked about in the forums recently, and will hopefully prove to be useful for some of you when using DataTables:

fnGetNextTr - get the next or previous TR element based on a given one, taking account of filtering, sorting and paging - http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnGetAdjacentTr

fnSortNeutral - restore the sorting order as it was read in from the data source - http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnSortNeutral

fnFilterClear - clear all filters (global and column specific) - http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnFilterClear

fnGetTd - get a TD element, abstracting out the difficulties of dealing with paging and hidden columns - http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnGetTd

This brings the total of API plug-ins to 23, providing a wealth of easy to use, enhanced interactions with DataTables. 12 of them have been contributed - thank you :-)


Furthermore, there are two new server-side processing scripts:

ASP.NET from LionHeart - http://datatables.net/development/server-side/asp_net

ASP Classic from diondu - http://datatables.net/development/server-side/asp_classic

Thank you to everyone for your contributions to the DataTables community - it's a pleasure to have such a great community building up around DataTables!

Regards,
Allan
