  Try cells().nodes(). You will probably want a row-selector of null and a cell-selector of the column. Something like this:

  var table = $('#example').DataTable();
   
  var cells = table
      .cells( null, COLUMN_NUMBER )
      .nodes();
   
  $( cells ).toggleClass( 'editable' );

  Kevin,
  your solution seems not working correctly.
  No class is added to cells of the COLUMN_NUMBER column

  Kevin,
  Maybe a .to$() is missing, but the fact is that, when an event occurs, I do not reinitialize the table, but I only do the following:

  totaliFatturaTable.clear().draw();
  

  I need something that allows me to toggle the editability of the cells of COLUMN_NUMBER, because with a toggleClass or an addClass after the clear nothing changes

  That code snippet works here:

  Please provide a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug.

  You are right, your sample works.
  It's hard to put out a snippet for my project because of the complexity, but I suppose it could depend on how I retrieve the Datatable.
  To solve it I've used the following:

  totaliFatturaTable.clear().destroy();
  

  and then I have called a new initialization of the table. I need to clear the table because it owns total given by other table selections (like an invoice).
  Thanks for your help!
