  Key thing here is that DataTables removes row nodes from the DOM which aren't needed for a page (to help improve speed and compatibility). So you can use `table.$('tr')` to get all table nodes - see http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/#$

  So when binding listener, should I use table.$('tr').on('click'. ..)?
  
  Because $('tr').on('click'... doesn't pass in the correct element, as I can't get the id or data-id out with e.target.parentNode.

  This FAQ is relevant: http://datatables.net/faqs#events
  
  Sometimes :-). You may want to use table.$().on for static events - but if you are using a live / delegated event, then probably not, and I would recommend the latter method.

  From jQuery API documentation
  
  [quote]As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live().[/quote]
  
  Perhaps it's worth checking that it works with .on() as well?

  DataTables? Yes it does. All of the examples on this site and the general documentation will be updated soon as part of the 1.10 update :-)
