cells().every() addEventListener bug / context loss?

cells().every() addEventListener bug / context loss?

TimmeehhhTimmeehhh Posts: 4Questions: 3Answers: 0

Debugger code (debug.datatables.net):

  datatableFoo.cells().every( function () {

        if ( this.index().column === 1 ){

            this.node().addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
                if (e.key === "Enter") {
                    console.info("Enter");
                }
            });
        }
    } );

Description of problem: Will also "Enter-keydown"-trigger on non-column-index-1 cells... why?

    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,

    I pasted your code snippet into this example and it seems to only add the listener to the calls in column 1.
    http://live.datatables.net/gezoboke/1/edit

    Instead of looping all the cells you could do something like this to limit to just column 1:

    table.cells(null, 1).every( function () {...});
    

    See the cells() docs for all the options of choosing which cells are returned.

    If you still need help please update the test case or provide a link to a page replicating the issue so we can help debug.
