cell().focus() partially work

jfr

Hi
I have an inline table editing
I do a select on the last row and then focus the Field_4 in footerCallback.

oTable.row("#row_999").select();
oTable.cell("#row_999",":eq(4)").focus();

This row is a dummy line send by the server for new entry.

It is selected, "#row_999", and the cell 4 is highlighted.
An entry box is showed but the cursor is no where to be found.
I added

  editor.field("Field_4").input().on('focus', function () {
    jQuery(this).select();
    console.log("Field_4 focus"); 
  });

witch will fired only if I click on the field

Do I have something else to do to have the cursor in the inner-editor ready for input ?

Thanks

cell().focus() doesn't active the editing itself - you'd need to call the inline() method to activate inline editing. The cell().focus() method is specific to KeyTable and just sets its focus.

Hi Allan
I have the following in the set-up

 oTable.DataTable({
+++
"footerCallback": function (tfoot, data, start, end, display) {
   if (end) {
      oTable.row("#row_999").select();
     oTable.cell("#row_999",":eq(4)").focus();
   }
},
"keys": {
   "editor": editor,
   "columns": [4,6,7,8,9,10] ,
    "keys": [ "\t".charCodeAt(0) ],
    "editorKeys": "tab-only"
 },
+++

And the following code for activation

oTable.on("key-focus", function ( e, datatable, cell ) {
   editor.inline( cell.index(), {
      onBlur: 'submit'
    });
});

I based my edit on the Editor example Tab between columns

Could you give me a link to the page please? I'll try to put a demo together locally in the next few days, but I suspect the keys option might be causing part of the issue. It won't activate editing like that.
