How to programmatically fire row click?

n14463

In my datatable, i am highlighting a row in "createdRow" callback as below -

           "createdRow": function (row, data, index) {
                
                var obj = getUrlVars();
               
                    if (data.T_ID == id) {
                        $(row).addClass('selected');
                    }
                }
            }

After, the initialisation is done, in the "initComplete" i want to programmatically click on that selected row

            "initComplete": function (settings, json) {
                var tbl = $("#tbl_dt").DataTable();
                var row = tbl.row(tbl.rows('.selected'));
                
                $(row).trigger('click');  //THIS DOES NOT WORK --- PLEASE SUGGEST
            }

but the above doesn't work. I have tried couple of options, please help

Hi @n14463 ,

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Colin

Yup - that looks like it should work. We'd need a test case really. That said, if you are using the Select extension for DataTables you could just use row().select().
