Hello People,

I have a Child DataTable where one of it's field is a Text field and I want to focus the first row's Text field when user expand to see the Child Table. I have ID for that Text field is Data.

{ "data": "firstName",

                  "render": function(data, type, full, meta )
                     {

                      $('#fname'+full.empId).focus();
                      return '<input type="text" class="numonly form-control"  onkeyup="checkInput(this)" id="fname'+full.empId+'" value=" '+data+' ">';
                      }
                    },

I have several rows but I want to focus the first row.

Help is highly appreciated,

Add an initComplete: on the child table. Within the initComplete would be the .focus() method.
