Index of column / row being edited.

Karl53

Given this:

                    // Find the cell that is currently being edited
                    var cell = $('div.DTE').parent();

How do I get the index of the column being edited?

I see column().index() but column() requires a selector.

What I want is the column of the cell the user is editing so I can pass it to JQuery's eq() method so if the user types the down arrow, the code can select the cell immediately below the cell the user is editing.

You could use:

table.column( $('div.DTE').closest('td') ).index();

or since you already have the cell use that as the selector:

table.column( cell ).index();
