  Hi,

  Can you show me the HTML you are trying to modify. Specifically what is #eq0 .eqDays meant to select (keeping in mind that is a select applied to the cells and should select a cell).

  Perhaps you might want to use a row and column combination selector instead - like in this example: http://live.datatables.net/pawijose/1/edit .

  The error you are seeing suggests that no cells were selected.

  Thank you. #eq0 is row id and .eqDays is column class. Exactly as you defined in th sample.

  So As I see this works:

    table.column(1).visible( false);
    table.cell( '#eq0', 1).data(11);
  

  but this doesn't:

    table.column(1).visible( false);
    table.cell( '#eq0', '.eqDays').data(11);
  

  and just by looking to the API docs cell() definition:

  function cell( rowSelector, columnSelector [, modifier ] )
  

  I was expecting that columnSelector can also be '.eqDays'. I would say it is a bit not clear in the docs that columnSelector must be a column number.

  Thank you!

  '.eqDays'

  Won't work unless the header for the column has that class applied to it - in which case it will. The column-selector operates on the header cell for the column.
