bVisible prevents selection of hidden elements

xjimx

I've hidden a few columns in my table but still want to access the data in said columns, just not view. Is it possible with hidden columns? I've tried using bSearchable and can't make it work either. How else to have access the hidden elements w/jquery but not have columns visible?

Thanks,

I've seen this question in a variety of forms but none seemed to answer my question exactly. My solution was to use jquery .Hide function to hide the columns. Since the jquery .Hide only affects the visibility the data is still available to operate with.

Best,
