I am trying to integrate datatables into my project. One of my tables has a button to add additional rows. I used the method shown here. After adding a row and submitting the results, I end up with double datatables controls as shown here:

Why does adding rows to the table #emails result in duplicate datatable controls after a submit?
For some reason datatables is embedding a div#emails_wrapper inside of another div#emails_wrapper.

I got some helpful input from Allan over at datatables. Specifically:
$('body').html(data);
You are rewriting the entire HTML body's tree - so when you call $('#emails').dataTable() DataTables will check to see if there is already a table on that node (note it is a node check, not an ID check), but there isn't since you've destroyed it and rewritten it. So the original HTML is still present from the old table, and DataTables adds a new table, since it is a new HTML table element.
So you need to either destroy the table before rewriting the whole tree, or preferably not rewrite the whole tree, just manipulate the bits you want updated.
