How to open editor form in my own logic?

merchantwarrior

Hi there,

I used a customized button and would like to open editor form in the click event of the button. What I did was call editor.open() in the action property. However, I encountered a problem when I was trying to do this. The error says "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'focus' of undefined". Can you help me out?

Moreover, I wanna trigger my own function instead of the default one when I close the editor form. Could you give me any suggestions?

Any help will be appreciated.

The code I wrote was as following:

editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( ..
buttons: [
{
extend: "create",
text: "New MID",
editor: editor,
action: function(e, dt, node, config){
editor.open(); // Error happened here
}
},
]

Rather than calling open(), call edit() (or create() / remove()). Otherwise Editor doesn't know what action to perform.

The open() method is only useful if you use the options in the editing methods to cancel the default open action.
