Finding Table ID from Row

Dalder

Hello there.

I've got two DataTables on the same page. I am feeding data into the page via WebSockets at which point it could be inserted into either table depending on a status in the data.

There is a need for me to check what table a row is part of in case I need to swap it from one to another if the status changes.

I've tried using the jQuery table-selector method tables.table($("tr[id='268']").parents('table')) but it doesn't seem to work.

Running tables.table($("tr[id='268']").parents('table')).rows() gives me back information about the individual row so I know that the jQuery table-selecor is working.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure but maybe something like this would work:

$("tr[id='268']").parents('table').attr('id)

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the help.

I was hoping to keep it all within the confines of DataTables, but that's just me being pedantic!
