How to add OnClick event on Datatables TR/TD

agesone

Doesn't seem to work when i just do it normally, anything i should be doing differently?

Define normally - can you post some code?

"Normal" onClick events are added inline to anchor tags, and won't work with TR/TD. But that's OK, because inline onClick is considered bad practice these days.

What you'll want to do is use jQuery to bind a click event using either .click(), .delegate(), or .live(), probably as part of a function called by a callback such as fnInitComplete.

Yup, as Greg says, avoid DOM0 methods, and use either DOM2 or just use jQuery events:

[code]
$('#example_table td').click( function () {
....
} );
[/code]

will do it.
