Picture information within a cell

Dane Jurkovic

Hello and thank you to anyone that helps me with this problem...

I can see what is in the 4th cell of the selected row using the code below. But how can I find the value that is set for the ALT tag for the image within that cell?

<table id="myTable" class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover">
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
    <th>...</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td><img id='row304' src='images/Eye.png' alt='Red'/></td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
</table>

$("#myTable").on('click', '.btnSelect', function () {
    var currentRow = table.row($(this).closest("tr")).data();
    alert('Manager: ' + currentRow[3]);
    alert('This is the alt tag for an image tag');
});

Thanks again....

Since Datatables doesn't know about attributes, etc you will need to use jQuery (or your preferred method) to get the img attribute. For example:
$(this).closest("tr").find("td:eq(1) img").attr('alt')

Might be an easier way but this one worked for me.
