select row by id

leodm

Hi, I have static html tables turn to normal Datatables. Adding id to <tr> then I can´t access to given id, for example:

<table id="example"> ... <tr id="row-3"><td></td></tr> ... </table> <script> var example = $('#example').DataTable(); </script>
then I can´t access to row by id like the example here: https://datatables.net/reference/type/row-selector

var row = example.row('#row-3');

give an error "example.row is not a function"

Can you link to a page showing the issue please? I don't immediately see what would be wrong there. You are using $().DataTable() which is correct - it would have guessed you were using $().dataTable() which would have resulted in that error, but your code above shows you aren't!

Allan, After many hours of testing in chrome console, I realize that maybe the problem is that when using HTML (DOM) sourced data, I'm using this code for initialization:

$(document).ready(function () { $('#cities').DataTable() }

The document ready function is the problem,when I remove it I can access inmidiatly to all the datatables api!

Can you confirm is that is maybe an issue?

thnks in advance!

Not really I'm afraid. I'm not aware of any issue with using that method.

Here is a little example which shows the API being accessed inside the document ready function.
