New to DataTables, struggling with a simple concept

neebs

I need to display a table with checkboxes. The data displayed will be small so I'm not using any pagination. I have successfully implemented a checkbox column and a single checkbox in the header that toggles all checkboxes. I have a Submit button and I need to obtain the identity of those rows in which the checkbox is checked on the server. Seems like a simple application, but I've had no luck. I just need to be nudged in the general direction I think. FYI: This is an ASP.NET MVC application written in C#.

Thanks, Steve

I would also entertain eliminating the checkbox approach and using the multi-select option on rows, by just clicking the rows. I have this working as well as a select all and de-select all button. Setting the row_selected class of the TR element.

Does anybody read these forums? Hello?

There is an example here showing how to submit form information that is held inside the table: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/form.html . An alternative if you want to do Ajax is to use fnGetNodes() and then a jQuery selector to get the form information from all nodes in the table.
