I have a column with buttons in a table I'm using jQuery datatable plugin. The buttons say "Remove" and the idea is that when you click on that button it deletes the current row in the table.

When I call fnDeleteRow it seems to work the first time but no any further time for that row so it looks like its not really deleting the row properly.
