Selected Column

wuwu

Hi, I am using below codes in getting the selected row value and it is working. But I want to know also what column user has clicked?

table.on('select', function (e, dt, type, indexes) {
    if (type === 'row') {
        $("#hiddenOperNum").val(table.rows({ selected: true }).data()[0]['CurrentOperNum']);
     }
});

One option is to use select.items and setting it to cell. The indexes parameter will then have the column and row indexes. For example:
https://live.datatables.net/lohabuye/1/edit

The example assumes you want to ultimately select the row. If the cell is selected it will deselect all the cells and use row().select() to select the row of the clicked cell.

Another way to do this is to create a td click event and in the event select the row. For example:
https://live.datatables.net/lohabuye/2/edit

It uses cell().data() to get the clicked cell's contents and cell().index() to get the column index.
