Deleting rows that are not on page

martingay

I am attempting to remove a row using the fnGetPosition and fnDeleteRow. I am using the pagination feature. The row I wish to delete is not currently being display as it is on another page. e.g. I am showing 1-10 entries, where I want to delete the 23rd entry.

fnGetPosition fails (as you would expect). However, I need a way to remove the entry from the underlying data. Is this possible?

Perhaps:

[code]
var row = table.$('#myRowId')[0];
table.fnDeleteRow( row );
[/code]

?

DataTables 1.10 will be able to do:

[code]
table.row( '#myRowId' ).remove().draw();
[/code]

Thanks for the reply. I do not believe those attempts will work for me as the row are not being shown (on a different page) and therefore not in the dom / document.

I need to delete the row, such that if the user uses the pagination options, then the 23rd entry has been deleted. Essentially I want to update the underlying data structures and ensure the total count has been decremented on the UI.

They will work for you regardless of paging and filtering. That's the whole point of the `$` method of DataTables (not it is not jQuery - it is the DataTables proxy to jQuery) and the `row()` methods.
