row().edit()
Edit an existing row.
Please note - this property requires the Editor extension for DataTables.
Description
This method can be used to edit an existing record using the Editor main form. It is essentially a proxy for the edit() method, exposed through the DataTables API object with the row() selector being used to select the row to be edited.
The Editor instance used by this method is the last Editor instance create that refers to this table when the table was constructed. This consideration is only important when using multiple Editor instances!
Please note that this method only exposes one small part of Editor through the DataTables API. Editor has its own extensive API which provides complete control over the form.
