Hi,
Please see my initialization. First 5 columns coming from server and next one is for edit/delete. I am looking for a last column in which I have to pass a id variable to make it custom link according to the row i clicked.
[code]
// DataTables init
var oTable=$('#example').dataTable( {
"sDom": "Tfrtip",
"sAjaxSource": "php/browsers.php",

"aoColumns": [
{ "mDataProp": "id" },
{ "mDataProp": "browser" },
{ "mDataProp": "engine" },
{ "mDataProp": "platform" },
{ "mDataProp": "grade", "sClass": "center" },
{ "mDataProp": null,
"sClass": "center",
"sDefaultContent": 'Edit / Delete'
},
{ "mDataProp": null,
"sClass": "center",
[quote] "sDefaultContent": 'MyLink.php?id=$id ' [/quote]
}
]
} );
[/code]


I was trying to find the content of the id when i click the link/image/td of the last column. First step to get content of id was failure, it does nt work( i checked with alert)

[code] ///for dynamic link

$('#example').on('click', 'a.editor_link', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Get the position of the current data from the node
var aPos = oTable.fnGetPosition( this );

// Get the data array for this row
var aData = oTable.fnGetData( aPos[0] ); [/code]

Can any one guide me please. I am looking for solution by which i can get id even if it is hidden.
Thanking you
Vinod

    [code]
    $('#example').on('click', 'a.editor_link', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var row = $(this).closest('tr'),
    data = oTable._(row),
    id = data[0].id;

    //do something with your id
    });
    [/code]

    Hi BLSully,

    Thank you very much. It works for me. Exactly as I expected. I made a custom link button for each row I am in next stage now. Any suggestion in getting this id from new page and use it along with ajax request as an additional variable?. Help is so much appreciated.

    What new page?

    > use it along with ajax request as an additional variable?

    Can you not just put the id into the `data` parameter of the jQuery ajax call?

    @vinod_ccv: See what allan said. Guessing you're looking for something like:

    [code]
    //put this code where I have "//do something with your id" in first post
    $.ajax({
    url: '/some/end/point',
    data: { "id": id, "myOtherVar": someOtherData }, //send parameters as needed
    success: function(json) {
    //do stuff on successful return here
    }
    });
    [/code]

    If this is not what you're looking for... please expand on your question w/ non-working code example, commented so we know what you're trying to do.

    Thank you Allan , Thank you BLSully,


    Yeah, That is what i m working over now (Putting the id in the ajax call data). But in server end I am using the "browsers.php" as template ,which is there in DataTables-1.9.3/extras/Editor-1.2.1/examples/php folder. Let me know additional scripting required in this file to include it ( id) in 'WHERE' condition for mysql select query . Please suggest.
    [quote] I have grid of 'Products groups' that is displayed in first page from 'Products groups' table. When i click the Link button against each 'Products groups' New php? ID page opens with Product group ID ,In this page I am looking for a grid for Particular group ( filtering using id) from another table 'Product' [/quote]
