The child row's for a collapsed table in Responsive, by default, show a ul/li list of the data from the hidden
columns. The responsive.details.rendererR option provide the ability to create your own custom renderer. It is given
two parameters: the DataTables API instance for the table and the row index to use.
This example shows the cells()DT method
being used to select the hidden columns and constructing a table of the data. You could refine the selector to select only certain columns, or show all columns,
etc.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
responsive: {
details: {
renderer: function ( api, rowIdx ) {
// Select hidden columns for the given row
var data = api.cells( rowIdx, ':hidden' ).eq(0).map( function ( cell ) {
var header = $( api.column( cell.column ).header() );
return '<tr>'+
'<td>'+
header.text()+':'+
'</td> '+
'<td>'+
api.cell( cell ).data()+
'</td>'+
'</tr>';
} ).toArray().join('');
return data ?
$('<table/>').append( data ) :
false;
}
}
}
} );
} );
