getting string out of row().data( )

andychu

Hi guys,

Instead of clicking cell one by one with cell().data
Is there a way to get the list of string out of row().data ?

I read from that forum that the Row() is Object Data.
And when I try to
$('#example1 tbody').on( 'click', 'td', function () {
var allrow = table.row(this).data();
alert( allrow );
} );

The alert show the row that I clicked like thisRowCell1,thisRowCell2,hellworld
all separated with ","

I tried to split the text using "," and I still fail.
I do not want to go all the way using ID, Ajax to handle this. (because I'm very new to programming)

I simply, just want to be able to click certain row and that
thisRowCell1 is pasted in other target (#id)
while thisRowCell2 show in another target. (#id)

Thank you in advance !

table.row(this).data()

This will return object based data if you are using columns.data. Based on your description you are not using columns.data since its returning an array.

I tried to split the text using "," and I still fail.

You don't need to do this since its already an array.

I simply, just want to be able to click certain row and that
thisRowCell1 is pasted in other target (#id)
while thisRowCell2 show in another target. (#id)

Since the allrow is an array you would access the first element with var thisRowCell1 = allrow[0].

oh Kevin, you save my daysssss.
Thank you so much for clear explanation and examples.

I tried something like alert(allowrow[0]); before but it didn't work
little that I know, I have to var thisRowCell1 = allrow[0] and then alert(thisRowCell1);
now everything works just fine. I love it so much !!

Thank you so so so much.

Hmm - that doesn't sound right. alert(allrow[0]) is exactly the same as var thisRowCell1 = allrow[0]; alert(thisRowCell1);.

I'd need to see an example of both causing the different behaviour to be able to explain that though.
