getting data using cell().data() not working for thead and tfoot

pike

Hi all,

I'm trying to get data from a specific cell in my tfoot. However, trying to get it using cell().data() and an id-selector does only work for the tbody. See http://live.datatables.net/riwutife/1/edit for an example.

In my example, how could I get data from cell with id='foot'?

Cheers
Seb.

Hi,

The cell() and row() methods only work on the cells and rows in the tbody. If you want the text from a footer cell, then you could use just a little bit of jQuery: $('#tiger').text().

I'll update the documentation to clarify this - thanks for pointing it out.
