How to get number of selected rows? (server-side)

culter

Hi, I'm trying to get the number of selected rows, but always get 0. I have server-side processing on if that matters. I tried this code:

$(document).ready(function() {
 var table = $('#dates').DataTable( {} );


var dataA = table
                .rows()
                .data();

console.log( "DataLength: " + dataA.length );



var info = table.page.info();

$('#tableInfo').html(
    'Currently showing page '+(info.page+1)+' of '+info.pages+' pages.'
);


});

Thank you for any advice.

Hi @culter ,

If you're using the Responsive plugin, you can use

table.rows({selected:true}).count()

Cheers,

Hi Colin, thank you for the response. I turned responsive to true and tried to retrieve the count of selected rows with

 console.log(table.rows({selected:true}).count());

but as previously I got 0.
