How do i get the classname of autofill cells.

How do I get the classnames of those cells that was selected during autofill?

   $('#TestTable').DataTable().on( 'autoFill', function ( e, datatable, cells ) {
                                var x = table.cells('.PublicHoliday');
                                alert(cells[0].className);
                                alert( (cells.length * cells[0].length)+' cells were updated' );
                            } );

Hi @KelvinDing ,

You can look over the cells array, and use

cells[0].cell.className

Hi @colin ,

Thank you for your quick response.

Gave your answers a try but I have encountered this problem.

I have tried it this way as well but was given undefined.

Do you happen to know what went wrong?

Cheers,

Ooops - sorry. That's my fault. I gave Colin some dodgy advice .

The cell property is an API instance containing the cell index, so:

cells[0].cell.node().className

should do it!

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I was able to achieve what i wanted by doing what you have suggested however with a slight change.

cells[0][0].cell.node().className
