Best way to count number of selected rows?

raquo

I want to activate a button outside of the table if one (and only one!) row is selected. We've tried this:

searchTable.rows('.selected').data().length

But this doesn't work as it reports 2 selected if I just click another row. It reports correctly if I first deselect my current row, and then select another. But I can't expect my customers to do that, they'll just click another row...

Are you saying you want to allow only one row at a time to be selected? You can do this by setting the select.style to single.

You can use the selector-modifier for rows(), and do something like rows({selected:true}).length,
