[newbie] Check All checkboxes fonction

Joyrex

This thread has been incredibly helpful in solving the issue of checking checkboxes that are not visible on the current page, and the above code works - however, one thing that still remains (and frankly I'm surprised nobody mentioned it here) is those hidden checked checkboxes do not get submitted when using it in a form - any ideas?

^ You can do this.

I'm doing it a little differently. I have a hidden field, and when I call AJAX submit I run this:

[code]
checkedCheckboxes = $("input:checked", yourDataTableVariable.fnGetNodes()).map(function(){
return this.id
});
[/code]

What I get in return is a long list of the checkbox ID's which I set up as all numerical (392, 952, 935, 953, 293). I then seperate these server side when I insert them in the table. You don't have to do it this way, but I wanted you to see both ways of getting all the hidden checkboxes.

I am using also a checkall event in javascript:
however it is not working if my entries a more that the paginated items, what I mean is that it is only working in the first page and not on the other pages.

Can somebody give me inputs here?

Thank you in advanced

I have check all and uncheck all buttons in my column header in a column whose cells contains the word "checked" or "unchecked". I use fnRender to render the checkboxes for this column so that I can maintain sortability on the checkboxes in this column. I want to change the underlying data of ~only~ the filtered data to "checked" or "unchecked" when I click on one of these check boxes. I can't find the documentation on the fnGetFilteredData API method.

How can I get the data so that it is only the filtered data and so I can can fnUpdate on it, then fnDraw once all rows are updated?

Thanks

Bob
