How to Highlight a row manually

ravikirankethe

I want to go through list of datatable items and if my criteria is matching then I want to select the row manually. What if the row is in the other page? How to handle that?

   var oTable = $('#tbl_env_list').dataTable();
   var nRows = oTable.fnGetNodes();

   var rowFound = 0;
   for (var i in nRows) {
      var aData = oTable.fnGetData(nRows[i]);
      if (aData[0] == env_id) {
         rowFound = 1;
         console.log ("row is found");
         // WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE ROW HERE
      }
   }

$(i).addClass( 'highlight' );

perhaps? Then just have a bit of CSS that matches that class and adds whatever highlighting style you want.

Allan,

Thanks for the reply. I would like to have default stylesheet of selecting the row. I added the code but that did not helped.

   var oTable = $('#tbl_env_list').dataTable();
   var nRows = oTable.fnGetNodes();

   var rowFound = 0;
   for (var row in nRows) {
      var aData = oTable.fnGetData(nRows[row]);
      console.log (aData[0]); 
      if (aData[0] == env_id) {
         rowFound = 1;
         console.log ("row is found");
         $(row).addClass('selected');
         $(row).addClass('highlight');
         break;
      }
   }

selected is the class that the DataTables default stylesheet uses for highlighting a row.

If that doesn't work for you, please link to a test case showing the issue.
