How can I re-do highlighting after re-adding and re-drawing data?

fbas

I am using a local array as my data source, but occassionally refreshing that data and doing a clear(), rows.add(), and draw()

I've also used the css/on-click method to highlight rows (multiple)

understandably, when I refresh the data, and re-draw, I lose the highlighting on the rows. What would you recommend I do to preserve, or re-apply the highlighting on rows?

Is there a better (i.e. more data-centric, as opposed to dom-centric) way to trigger the highlighting? or would it be easier to poll the 'selected' rows in query before redrawing, then reapply the class after the re-draw?

thanks,

Here are a couple of options you can look at:
createdRow
rowCallback

thanks @kthorngren I use the createdRow call back, after caching the desired values in $('#datatable').dataTable().api().rows('.selected').data()
