Editor deselecting on update

shantiram

Hi
When editing certain tables, whenever i hit Update the row is deselected. Any idea what could be causing this?

I believe that is the expected behaviour. Why is it a problem for you?

Ok yes I can see now that is the expected behaviour for server side tables... (But not client side).

It becomes kind of disorienting with large tables...
Also I have tried to implement stepping up/down rows with the keyboard, so the row deselecting whenever an edit is made becomes a bit annoying.
According to this page: https://datatables.net/extensions/select/examples/initialisation/reload.html
you should be able to set "deferRender: true" to fix this, but it doesn't work for me. Will post back if I come up with a solution.

If anyone's interested this is what I did. This maintains the selected position on redraw as well as between sessions.

//Remember select position on update
$.each(tables, function (index, value) {
//'tables' is an array of datatables instances
    this.on('select', function () {
        //Add table id (with prefix "selected_") as key in local storage, add selected row id as value
        var key = "selected_" + this.id;
        var selected = $("#"+this.id+" .selected").attr('id');
        localStorage[key] = selected;
    });
        this.on('draw', function () {
        //Select saved row on draw
        if("#"+localStorage["selected_"+this.id]) {
        karto.tables[index].row("#"+localStorage["selected_"+this.id]).select();
        }
    });
});
