in Select
Hi
I'm using datatables with the select plugin, I need to automatically select a row if a cell in that row has a specific class in particular my class is called .favourite
My data come from server side and I use ajax to load them into datatable, this is how the html looks like https://codepen.io/karibusana/pen/jOaZbNB so you can see the class .favourite
I've tried with rowCallback
rowCallback: function(row, data, index) {
var cellValue = data["descrizione"];
if($(cellValue).find('.favourite')){
dataTable.row().select();
}
}
But all it does is select the first row and not the one with .favourite class. Can anybody help me please? many thanks

You aren't providing a selector to the
row()method, so yes, it will just be picking the first row in the table, since no selector equals all rows (which with the singularrow()method gets truncated to just one row).What I would actually suggest in this case is:
Note how the
rowparameter fromrowCallbackis being passed into therow()method to select that row. The condition also makes use of the existing row rather than creating new DOM elements from the string value.Allan
Hi @allan many thanks for your help. I've tried your suggestion but I now get all rows selected
any other suggestion? many thanks
I think you need to use
$(row).find('.favourite').length. Like this:http://live.datatables.net/vejupeye/1/edit
