    <p>I'm creating a dataTables table to use as an archive of pages for a site that produces a comic strip. On that archives page, I'd like to have the title of the comic be a link to the page of that comic strip.</p> <p>Initialization:</p> <pre><code> &lt;script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { $('#example').dataTable( { "bProcessing": true, "sAjaxSource": "archive/archive.txt" } ); } ); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th width="20%"&gt;Author&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th width="25%"&gt;Title&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th width="25%"&gt;Episode&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th width="15%"&gt;Date&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th width="15%"&gt;Tags&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>JSON Data:</p> <pre><code>{ "aaData": [ ["Bob","Title One","Episode 1","9/30/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Bob","Title One","Episode 2","10/2/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Bob","Title One","Episode 3","10/4/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Bob","Title Four","Episode 1","10/8/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Bob","Title Five","Episode 1","10/11/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Bob","Title Six","Episode 1","10/12/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Seven","Episode 1","10/15/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Eight","Episode 1","10/17/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Eight","Episode 2","10/20/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Ten","Episode 1","10/22/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Eleven","Episode 1","10/23/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"], ["Kevin","Title Twelve","Episode 1","10/24/2010","tag1,tag2,tag3"] ] } </code></pre> <p>Where "Title One" or "Title Four" etc, would be a link to the page of that comic. Admittedly, I don't have much in the way of chops with dataTables, so if you might be explicit in your solution, that would be well appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
