Hello,
i'm just working on editor in order to create a function when a filed is really edited.

So i'm thinking about on initEdit event to retrieve the data field then call Edit event to launch the function.

Something like that:

 editor.on('initEdit', function () {
    oTable = $('#meetings').dataTable();
    var sData1 = oTable.fnGetData(this.s.editRow);
    Now how can i retrieve the current field value??? 
    });
    editor.on('onEdit', function () {
    oTable = $('#meetings').dataTable();
    var sData2 = oTable.fnGetData(this.s.editRow);
       Now how can i retrieve the current field value??? 
       // Something here to check if the value is changed???
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: "../pages/email.php", //Here i need to pass modified value..how???
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(data){ alert("Email sending status to : " + data.emailto_Part + " = " + data.emailSent); }
      });
    });

Could you help me to complete this code or better suggest me the best way to accomplidh this?

Thank you

    Use val() to get (and set) the value of a field. So you might do something like:

    var val = null;
    
    editor
      .on( 'initEdit', function () {
        val = editor.val( 'myField' );
      } )
      .on( 'edit', function () {
        if ( editor.val( 'myField' ) !== val ) {
          alert( 'It changed!' );
        }
      } )

    mm..good staring point...

    and is there any smart method that can i use (inside .on( 'edit', function () {) to send to php function all rows value?

    I mean:
    right now in editor i want to show only one filed caller "status".

    When when the edit has been made i would like to pass to php scripts all rows values.

    What do you think about?

    Thank you

    The row values are passed in as the third parameter to initEdit events, so you could use that perhaps?

    And what about PostEdit events...seems that does not keep the same parameters:
    editor.on( 'initEdit', function ( e, node, data ) {
    console.log( data );
    } );
    Cause i would to pass data when are already updated
    Am i right?

    postEdit provides three parameters - the event, the json from the server and the data used to set the row. That is documented in: postEdit.
