  Are you asking how to hide a column? Use columns.visible and set it false.

  Thanks.
  But when I use visible: false, I'm not able to get the value.

  This is the current HTML element when I use:
  columnDefs: [
  { targets: 1, visible: false }
  ]

  <td class="no-wrap"></td>

  Previously (when I was using DataTables version 1.6.0), the HTML looked like this:

  <td class="hidden no-wrap">
  <input type="checkbox" name="asset_id" id="asset_9329" value="9329" class="checkbox">
  </td>

  If you’d like, I can help you troubleshoot why the checkbox is missing when using visible: false. Let me know!

  How are you trying to get the value?

  They won't be in the document so jQuery and Javascript methods won't find them.

  Use Datatables API's like cell().data() or cell().node() to access the hidden cells.

  For more specific help please provide a simple test case showing what you have.

  Maybe this example of delegated events will help.

  can i add hidden checkbox in row ??

  Sure. Add a class or style to it and set it to display: none.

  Can I get the checked value of the selected row?

  Selected how - via Select, or via one of your own methods? For Select, use the API.
