Disable editing of one cell based on its content

eclipsetalk

Hello,
I'm enable column 6 for editing as follow:

         "fnDrawCallback" : function() {
                        tableGrid.$('td:eq(6)').editable(function(value, settings) {
                             var td = $('td#' + this.id);
                             displayStuff(td, this.id, value);
                         }, {
                            type        : 'text',
                            cssclass    : 'textInline',
                             name        : 'textInline',
                             submit      : 'Ok',
                             cancel      : 'Cancel'
                         });
                    },

I'd like to disable the editing for the cells for which the html content is a given value. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

You'd need to either modify the selector you are using to check if there is content for whatever value, or refer to whatever plug-in it is that you are using for the editable() action (xEditable?) and see if it has an even that you can cancel.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm using dataTable and jquery.jeditable.mini.js for the editable().

 var tableGrid = $('#grid').dataTable({
            "dom": "frtip",
            "bStateSave": true,
            "paging": false,

I tried to get the click event as follow. However I get the event on all the cells except the one that is editable.

$('#grid').on('click', 'tbody td', function (e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });

Could you please expand on how to go about modifying the selector?
Thanks

That might mean that jEditable is doing some kind of stopPropagation itself. I haven't used jEditable in years I'm afraid so I don't know the ins and outs of it. You'd probably need to ask the developer of that software, with a link to a page showing the issue.

It would also be worth trying it without DataTables so see if that is what is causing the issue.
