jump to a specific row by value (string) when first instantiating the table

mustafamond

Is there a way to initialize a scrollable table and scroll to a specific row based on the string value of one of the fields in that row so that when the table is first displayed, the row with that value is showing at the top of the visible window?

scroll to a specific row

Are you using the Scroller extension? If so then row().scrollTo() should work. You can do something like this with the row() row-selector as a function:

Yes, this works, thank you.

must specify

"scroller";true,

when initializing the datatable. After initialization,

$("#table_id").DataTable().row("#row_id").scrollTo();

does the trick
