title: Update Jquery Datatable Cell Value
body: <p>I have a jquery datatable with a many spans in it. The table is loaded in with ajax data from a DB then the spans are dynamically updated to match all the other spans with the same class when a user changed a value. </p>
  
  <p>The issue I am having though is that when I update the spans datatable doesn't seem to know it was updated. </p>
  
  <p>For example if I make update the value to <code>555</code> and then search for <code>555</code> it doesn't return a result. </p>
  
  <p>I tried to use <code>.draw()</code> but it doesn't seem to work. How do I have datatable update all the cell values without destroying and rebuilding the table. Destroy just seems like massive overkill.</p>
