Is it possible to have an inversed row / column model

Hi all,

For a specific needs, I would like to know if there is a out of the box way to inverse the datatable representation : row <-> column ?
In other world to have the static header as a column and to have row added based on my datasource.

Or do i have to cheat with my datasource?

Many thanks
Cyril

DataTable has no provisions to change the orientation from top-to-bottom to left-to-right. Underneath it uses a regular HTML table which is equally unable to do such trick. You can trick it by providing the data crosswise, but then few features of the DataTable would actually work so, what would be the point of using DataTable at all?! At that point you might just as well use an HTML table.

Using a datatable i was expecting the row selection + hightlight available.
I ll study the opportunity to use a HTML table.
Thanks.

It would be easier for you to handle it yourself with a regular HTML table than trying to figure out how to trick DataTable to do it. Not that it would be easy, HTML tables are also row-oriented, but at least you would be working with something you know instead of learning the innards of DataTable just to start to figure out how to do it.
