Column data from server side

rajzamitesh

I processed some records on the server side and have fetched them to show on the browser in table using datatable.
I also need to make use of data from one of the columns of the same table in another control (a drop down) on the same page.

The most obvious answer would be to fire an ajax call to get the data in column. but since the data is already fetched and on the client cache, i dont want to fire this additional query. if there an easier way (could not get my way around the API fnGetData().

thanks

just put a class on the TDs in that column in your html and then iterate through all elements with that class to get their respective values
