datatables serverside edit button not working on smart phone only?

No one on stackoverflow seemed to be able to solve this. Make sure an answer has not already been posted. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54192569/datatables-jquery-library-server-side-edit-button-not-working-on-smartphone

My edit button does not populate the data row or ID on a smart phone only. But it WILL work responsively on a computer at ANY screen size. What would cause this?!?

Hi @chessGuru64 ,

I don't see why you need this line:

var rowData = $('#example').DataTable().row($(this).parents('tr')).data();

You've got the data in this earlier line:

var edit_id = $('#example').DataTable().row( id ).data();

You could use that to populate the edit.

Cheers,

Colin

Yes there probably is an easier way but that was the way I thought of using stackoverflow. The ajax could not be responding for whatever reason on the phone, I will try to add the edit_id manually too before the ajax call:

var id = $(this).attr("id");;
var edit_id = $('#example').DataTable().row( id ).data();
var edit_id = edit_id[0];
$('#editId').val(edit_id);
