DataTables - Expand Child details without using Ajax

Question

I\'m working on a page that uses jquery DataTables (version 1.10). The TableData source is currently being sent as just an HTML table on the rendered page, and works perfect. Ho

While technically this example isn't exactly using AJAX, it is essentially exactly the same concept. You are still forced to add rows using a format function, whether than format function builds the HTML getting values from AJAX or hard-coded into your data-attributes, what is the difference.

As far as I know, there is no way to have the child rows inserted into your HTML from the start and just have the expand controls just SHOW the already existing HTML for the child rows, not build the child row HTML, insert it into the DOM and show it.
