fnDrawCallback not executing function

pspence

I am new to DataTables but greatly enjoying this fine work. I am just trying to get my callback function to work and am testing with an alert. The code below does not produce an alert when you click on a row. Ultimately I will want to run some server side php code but I seem to be missing something.

I have based this code on this thread:

http://datatables.net/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=1838&page=1

[code]
$(document).ready(function() {


/* Init the table */
var oTable = $('#staff').dataTable({
bProcessing: true,
bServerSide: true,
sDom: '<"top"fp>rt<"bottom"li><"clear">',
sAjaxSource: "server_processing.php",
fnDrawCallback: function() {
clickRowHandler();
}
});
function clickRowHandler() {
$('#staff tbody tr').bind('click', function () {
alert();
});
}
});

[/code]

Have you found the solution yet?

There are some things that should solve it:
The fnDrawCallback takes oSettings as a parameter.
All keys in the dataTable declaration should be enclosed in "" characters.
To use an external function as the value, just type the function name, and declare ClickRowHandler = function(oSettings). Alternatively declare the function in-line as an anonymous function.

Here are the two alternatives:

[code]
$(document).ready(function() {

/* Init the table */
var oTable = $('#staff').dataTable({
bProcessing: true,
bServerSide: true,
sDom: '<"top"fp>rt<"bottom"li><"clear">',
sAjaxSource: "server_processing.php",
fnDrawCallback: ClickRowHandler
});
clickRowHandler = function(oSettings) {
$('#staff tbody tr').bind('click', function () {
alert();
});
}
});
[/code]

or

[code]

$(document).ready(function() {


/* Init the table */
var oTable = $('#staff').dataTable({
bProcessing: true,
bServerSide: true,
sDom: '<"top"fp>rt<"bottom"li><"clear">',
sAjaxSource: "server_processing.php",
fnDrawCallback: function(oSettings) {
$('#staff tbody tr').bind('click', function () {
alert();
});
}
});
});
[/code]

Oops, in the first alternative, move the ClickRowHandler declaration to outside the document.ready declaration.
