cell().select()
Select a single cell.
Please note - this property requires the Select extension for DataTables.
Description
This method simply selects a single cell that has been found by the cell() selector method.
If the selection style (select.style / select.style()) is set to single any previously selected cells will be automatically deselected. Otherwise the cell will be added to the current selected set.
Selected cells can later be retrieved using the selected extension to the selector-modifier object - for example table.cells( { selected: true } ).data() will get the data of all cells which are selected in the table.
