Your code confuses me a little ... Looks like you are not really using the built-in features of Editor and Data Tables a lot. You want to be able to select a number of rows and then do something with the selected rows. For that reason you want to put the ids (or something else?) of these rows into a string. Ok, I have something similar. I am using Data Tables Select extension which is really valuable here and "on select" of one or multiple rows I fill an array of something with more values if they aren't in the array yet. That should be pretty much the same as you would require, I guess. So this is part of the data table definition. Including the settings for the select extension (style: 'os' etc.) and the "on select" event handler that fills my two arrays with data from the selected data table rows. https://datatables.net/extensions/select/ var acctSystems = []; var acctSystemProviders = []; var table = $('#table').DataTable( { dom: "Bfrltip", ajax: { url: 'actions.php?action=whatever' }, columns: [ ................... { data: "table.acct_system" }, { data: "table.acct_system_provider" }, .......... ], select: { style: 'os', selector: 'td:not(:first-child)' // no row selection on first column }, buttons: [ {extend: "editSettings", editor: someEditor}, "selectAll", "colvis" ] } ); table.on ( 'select', function (e, dt, type, indexes) { acctSystems = []; acctSystemProviders = []; dt.rows({ selected: true }).every( function ( rowIdx, tableLoop, rowLoop ) { var data = this.data(); if ( acctSystems.indexOf(data.table.acct_system) < 0 ) { acctSystems.push(data.table.acct_system); } if ( acctSystemProviders.indexOf(data.table.acct_system_provider) < 0 ) { acctSystemProviders.push(data.table.acct_system_provider); } }); })

Hi @maxamity , Your fiddle doesn't work, it's missing jQuery. This thread should help, it's asking the same thing. Cheers, Colin

Hi @SweetAnonymous , Yep, they will remain selected - see my example from this thread. Cheers, Colin

Hi @ocardonac3 , That's a lot of code there. Can you give more details, please, such as any errors you're seeing, or what exactly "doesn't recognise the th"? Can you also link to a page showing the issue, please. Cheers, Colin

Without seeing what you are doing it will be hard to offer suggestions. Please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

@colin, Thank you for your answer. But I'm working this in the server-side.

Hi @unknowndevelopper , We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Only the Bootstrap JS as DataTables doesn't use Bootstrap 4 tooltips. If you need the tooltips as well you could include Popper from CDNJS or similar. Allan

We're happy to take a look, but could you link to your page or a generate a test case so we can offer some help. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Hi Colin, I don't know what to say.... I'm speechless. Thank you so much for your help. That's great!! Cheers, NIklas
