About jQuery function for a custom button in DataTables

nrtriana

Is posible to use a jQuery for a custom function in DataTables? Something like this:

$('#nuevo_med_btn').click( function() {
            var data = table.$('input').serialize();

            # Validate data and post data to PosgreSQL database here 

            );

Yeah @colin, I see this example... but I have a form in each row of my table, I want to post fields of individual rows to my database table. It's possible?

colin

Have you send Editor, that makes that much simpler?

nrtriana

@colin I have a list of medical drugs that is generated by a Django view and show in an HTML template where I use DataTables. I want a submit button in each row of the table that make a post action that insert new records un another table of my PostgreSQL database. The master original table (records sender table) is not altered by the button action.

By the way thank you for your help and your attention my friend.

Here are a couple examples with buttons in each row. You can modify the event to add a jQuery ajax request.

Thank you Kevin! Now I have to fully understand exactly how the ajax option work... you know, English it's not my native language and sometimes I have troubles trying to understand technical concepts explained in English. I hope I can do it.
