  I even tried it with:
  $(td).children("ocond").attr('onClick', "saveToDatabase3(this,'cond','Mint','"+ rowData.checkboxes +"')");

  but no success

  $('a.ocond', td) or $(td).children('a.ocond') are what you want to use.

  That said, I would very much recommend against using DOM0 events. Use $('#myTable').on( 'click', 'a.ocond', function () { ... } ); instead (not in the createdCell callback - at the top level).

  Thank you Allen.
  I do it in the createdCell area to get the rowData values (e.g. rowData.price).

  If I do it outside of this area and inside the ready document area with a new on click event like you suggested, how could I get the specific td values of the different rowData inside the function?

  best greetings and thanks in advance for any help

  Using the row().data() method:

  $('#myTable').on( 'click', 'a.ocond', function () {
    var rowData = table.row( $(this).closest('td') ).data();
    ...
  } );
  

  The advantage of that is you only have one event and don't need to worry (as much) about memory leaks.

  So I would be able to get the values with

  var value = rowData.checkboxes

  ?
  Because I get: "Cannot read property 'checkboxes' of undefined"

  thank you in advance

  Sorry - it should be closest('tr') not td!
