The data parameter of the initEdit only shows the first row selected. I need all selected rows. How can I do this?
I see I can do table.rows( { selected: true } ) but why wouldn't initEdit provide me with an array of data?

Its a legacy issue that. Multi-row editing was only introduced in 1.5, so to allow for backwards compatibility, the old functionality was retained.
initEditdoes actually pass in two more parameters that is documented (urgh - I'll fix that!). The forth parameter is the modifier that was used to activate the editing (e.g. the selected rows) and the fifth is the type of editing mode. The forth parameter is the one you want.Allan
