Accessing other cells in the same row on click td

RolandH

When clicking on a cell, I can get the value of the cell and change it. How do I change the value of the cell next to it?

$('#mytable tbody').on( 'click', 'td', function () {
  var table = $('#mytable').DataTable();

  var cell = table.cell( this );
  var val = cell.data();
 console.log(val);  // current value
  
cell.data( 'new value' ).draw(); change the value of the clicked cell.

    
});

Hi RolandH,

The API method .cell().index() can tell you details about the cell you have, then you can tweak it to get the neighbouring cell, as in this example.

Cheers,
