title: DataTables - Expand Child details without using Ajax
body: <p>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. However I want to be able to expand the rows to show detailed information.</p>
  
  <p>Very much like the example <a href="https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html">Here</a></p>
  
  <p>However, the site I'm working with currently does not have any sort of web services set up on it yet, so I won't be able to make ajax calls to get the expanded information like the example uses.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can supply all of the necessary information for the parent child relationship on a fully rendered page?</p>
  
  <p>Can I somehow nest the table data to get this, or tell DataTables to make every other table row a child of the one above it?</p>
  
  <p>I posted this same question on the datatables forums: <a href="https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/20903/parent-child-expand-details-without-using-ajax#latest">Question</a></p>
