Selecting a row and navigating using arrow keys

Selecting a row and navigating using arrow keys

joysonjoyson Posts: 22Questions: 5Answers: 0

Hi,

I was wondering if datatables has a feature where I can select any row in my table and navigate using the arrow keys. Can you please point me out in the right direction. I am able to highlight the row on clicking but I am not able to navigate using the arrow keys.

Regards,
Joyson.

    Hi tangerine,

    I am using server side processing and when I click on a particular row it sends an AJAX request to my server and my table is updated which removes the selection. Can keytable be used with server side?

    Hi,

    Any update on this?

    I did get the navigation working using jQuery. But the problem is that the columns do not move as I am using Scroller. The highlighting just goes down and the rows are not visible once I navigate past the 14 rows which are visible in my table.

    Regards,
    Joyson.

    You would need to use row selection something like this if you are using server-side processing.

    I am already using something like this for highlighting the row. But what about navigation using the arrow keys like we have in KeyTable?

    KeyTable is not currently compatible with server-side processing. That is something I will be addressing in v2 of KeyTable.

    Can you please let me know when will KeyTable v2 be available? Is it something that we can expect in the near future?

    It should be available around February / March 2015. So not an immediate fix I'm sorry to say. There are a back log of other things to do first!

    You could remove this line in KeyTable which will provide the majority of functionality, but paging etc will not work.

    Hi allan,

    Thanks for the tip. I removed the css from keytable and added my own css and it worked like a charm. Thanks again :)

    Just realised I put 2016 before. I meant 2015 (changed now)!

    Thats fine. Anyway after some further testing. It did not work as expected so I guess I will have to wait till you come up with something. Thanks!!!
