Hi All,

Is there Multi Select Row Delete option in datatables?

Thanks

hi Alag,
there isnt a specific multi row select delete option but you can achieve it very simply by applying the following steps
atleast that's what i did....

first get the table tools plugin which has row multi select option then use the fngetSelected() method to get all the rows which has been selected
since i am using server side scripting i send the id's of the rows which i have selected and delete them.


ps. refer to the following post to use fngetSelected() method

The technique that Arjun describes is the method Editor uses: http://editor.datatables.net/release/DataTables/extras/Editor/examples/index.html :-)

Thanks Arjun & Allan for the quick reply..
I am using a checkbox for deleting selected rows..
So if u can suggest for the above would be great..

Thanks

Just select the checked checkboxes as you would with any jQuery selector (or use DataTables' $ API method to have it work regardless of paging etc) and then delete the rows with an Ajax call and fnDeleteRow .
