Multiple editors?

bvelasquez

Is it possible to have multiple editors on the same page?
If so, what is the correct way to do it?

Enaldi

I just give each editor instance a unique name, like:

editorName = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
//...

Then use the name to refer to it, of course. Is that what you mean?

@Enaldi is spot on. You just need to create multiple Editor instances and assign them to variables like you would with any other object instance.

Thank you Enaldi ~ for some reason I was having issues but all looks good now!

There are no examples of having multiple tables and retrieving the Editor from the DataTable.

However, it is the same as for when there is a single table on the page.

Beware: you must define the Editor first.

The editor() docs stae

The Editor instance used by this method is the last Editor instance create that refers to this table when the table was constructed. This consideration is only important when using multiple Editor instances

Otherwise you will get an undefined value from .editor()
