jTable not showing new row content after MySQL INSERT with node.js

Question

I have a little jTable that shows a list of records pulled from my local database using node.js with express-generator and mysql. I can show, create, edit and delete records in/from my table just fine.

My problem is that when I add a new record using my jTable, it creates an empty row in my jTable and doesn't populate it with the newly added data unless I refresh the page. This is weird because it successfully updates the row in the jTable when I edit and delete it using the jTable as well.

Can anyone see why this is happening?
(I excluded the edit and delete code since those work properly)

tbl_bar structure

rowID = INT, PK, AI
rowName = VARCHAR, UQ
rowOrder = INT (for future row organization)

Answer 1

While working on a child table I came across the same problem, except this time I was able to find a solution. In order to get the new row to display its data, I needed to reload the jTable with the recordAdded event.
It's a shame that I can't keep the cool row fade-in effect though.

recordAdded: function (event, data) {
    $('#container').jtable('reload');
}

For my child tables I used

recordAdded: function (event, data) {
    $('.jtable-child-table-container').jtable('reload');
}
