How to set rowId property to start by a character

jstuardo

Hello,

I need to add id property of TR tag for each record, so that I will be able to operate over the record. However, the record id is a numerical identity. If I add rowId: "id" in datatable definition, a numeric ID is rendered, which is invalid. So, when I call "table.row(this).id()", an undefined is actually got. I think it is undefined since value cannot start with a digit.

How can do it?

Not sure I understand the question. I put together the test case for you to show integer ID's work and don't result in undefined with this table.row(this).id().

You can change rowId to name and see that it still works.

If you still have problems please update the test case to replicate your issue.

Thanks... the problem was that I am using a click event on a button... that way, "this" object is not the TR..... so I use "$(this).closest('tr');" to get the reference to TR first, and then call "id()" method.
