Getting row`s id to delete it via its button.

fgonzalez

Hi. I am showing a dataTable with a delete button on one of its columns. As I click on it i would like have a confirmation message and afterwards being able to send the row`s id to my action class. I´m working with jsp.

Thanks in advance

Hope this helps.

nth-child[10] - Assumed column of Delete Button

[code]
$("#exampletd:nth-child(10)").live("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();

var nRow = $(this).parents('tr')[0];

var nTr = this.parentNode;

var aData = oDetailTable.fnGetData( nTr );

// Get the key value for delete operation
var key = aData[0];

// Prompt the user before deletion -> You can use whatever confirmation method you want
bootbox.confirm("Are you sure of deleting the invoice - " + invoiceNumber + " ?", function(result) {
if (result) {
// Delete the row based on the index value retrieved above
/*
Note: If you have records in database for the selected record, it would be ideal to
i - Either set a flag in the table for the selected record so that it wont be selected and displayed in the dataTable again
(Called Soft Delete)
ii - Do a delete on the table
call fnDraw() after successful delete / soft delete in the table
*/

} else {
console.log("Relax. Think hard next time before deleting");
}
});
});
