Update Cell value (html)

prasadv

As in the attached image i need to update the cell (without refreshing table) when clicked on star when data == "false",
I am applying a custom function ApplyFavourite to perform the action

 var custno = full.Customerno;

if (data == "true") {
    return "<span class='glyphicon glyphicon-star'  style='color :#FFFF00 ;text-shadow: -2px 0 #aeae1b, 0 -2px #aeae1b, 2px 0 #aeae1b, 0 2px #aeae1b;font-size:15px;'></span>"; 
}
else {
    return '<a onclick=\'angular.element(this).scope().ApplyFavourite("' + custno + '","' + 1 + '")\' class="clslink"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star-empty" title="Click to mark as favourite" style="font-size:13px;"></span></a>'; 
}

How do i get the specific cell value in this case, and then update the cell , so the cell will be seen with a yellow star i.e it is updated as favourite.

Use cell().data() to update a cell's data. That same method can also be used to get the cell's current data.

But how will i get the Cell.data() in ApplyFavourite() function.
Below is how my column rendered.

{
                "aTargets": [9],
                "mRender": function (data, type, full) {
                 var custno = full.Customerno; 
                 if (data == "true") {
                                           return "<span class='glyphicon glyphicon-star'  style='color                             :#FFFF00 ;text-shadow: -2px 0 #aeae1b, 0 -2px #aeae1b, 2px 0 #aeae1b, 0 2px #aeae1b;font-size:15px;'></span>";
                    }
                  else {
                             return '<a onclick=\'angular.element(this).scope().ApplyFavourite("' + custno + '","' + 1 + '")\' class="clslink"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star-empty" title="Click to mark as favourite" style="font-size:13px;"></span></a>';
                          }
                 }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function ApplyFavourite( custno, flag){
            
     /*how do I get **Cell.data()** here*/
}

Do you want the rendered data, or the unrendered data? If the rendered data use cell().render(). For the unrendered data use cell().data().
