Cell update

mauro218

Hello,

I am migrating code from DataTables 1.8 to 1.10

Current 1.8 code:

oTable = $('.dataTable').dataTable();               
                
                    //Loop through each checkbox checked and update
                    $(".Active_Checks:checked").each(function() {
                
                        var iId = $(this).parent().parent().attr("id"); /* Record ID */
                        var indexOfRow = oTable.fnGetPosition( $(this).closest('tr').get(0) );
                        var iStatus = object.value;
        
                        if (iStatus == "Add_MB") {
                            var iIcon = "<img src='/img/greenCheck.gif' border=0>";
                            oTable.fnUpdate( iIcon, indexOfRow, 2 );
                        } 
                        if (iStatus == "Add_BP") {
                            var iIcon = "<img src='/img/Checkpurple.gif' border=0>";
                            oTable.fnUpdate( iIcon, indexOfRow, 3 );
                        }       
                        if (iStatus == "Remove_MB") {
                            oTable.fnUpdate( "", indexOfRow, 2 );
                        } 
                        if (iStatus == "Remove_BP") {
                            oTable.fnUpdate( "", indexOfRow, 3 );
                        }
                    
                        jQuery.ajax({
                             type: "POST",
                             url: "/Online/docs_actions.lasso",
                             data: "status="+iStatus+"&row_id="+iId,
                             dataType: "html"
                         });                
                    });
                    oTable.fnDraw();

I can't find a way to update the cell contents in 1.10. What's the best way to change the code?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jhonny,

cell().data() is the way to update individual cells in 1.10's API (note you need to use $().DataTable(), capital D to get the new API) . A conversion guide is available here.

The 1.9- API should still work in 1.10 though!
