Getting row and column index clicked?

RobWhisonant

I believe I have totally confused myself trying to do something simple?

I have a table. When a user clicks in a table cell I need to know what row and what column they clicked. How would this be done? I'm using version 1.1

Actually here is what I am needing to do.

Table has the first column hidden. When a user clicks on a cell I need to know what column they clicked on and the value in the hidden cell for the row clicked on.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Here is what I have tried.

This returns the data I need from the hidden column of the row clicked.

$('#rotator_links_datatable tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
var aData = oTable.fnGetData( this );
var visIdx = $(this).index();
});

This returns the column index clicked.

$('#rotator_links_datatable tbody').on('click', 'td', function () {
var aData = oTable.fnGetData( this );
var visIdx = $(this).index();
});

But I can't get it to work when I combine both.
