In my datatable, I need to create a link using <a href /> but pass a value of another cell for that row to a function to get executed to load a list box. I'm able to add the link using the <a hre=/> however, is there a way to get the value of the other cell for that row the user clicked the link in?
table = $('#output').DataTable({
columns : [
{
data : "id",
defaultContent: '',
render : function (data) {
return data
}
},
{
data : "make",
render : function (data, type, value) {
"<a href="#" id="carMake" onClick="Process()"> + data + '</a>'
}
}
]
})
I want to use the ID field to pass into the Process() function when they click on the { make } link.

See the
columns.renderdocs. The docs show the third parameter, calledrow, contains the data for the full row. Also see this example. Something like this should work:Note that I added
returnand changed some of the double quotes to single quotes to allow for imbedded double quotes in the string.Kevin
I looked at that and get { undefined } on the field I want to use for the link to pass to the JQuery function
I just noticed you have
valueas the name of the thirdcolumns.renderparameter. Either change it torowto match the docs or change therow.idtovalue.id.Kevin
I can combine the cells fine, it's when I wrap the <a href=" /> around it, it fails.
I took this line from the example
and tried it like this:
and I get the { undefined } message, however, I can combine both values in one cell just fine.
I get
{ uncaught reference error : 990 is not defined }
and 990 is the ID being passed
I got it working, I added an ID field so show the ID from the table, and now it works. Not sure why that would work, but I got it working
