I have a column with buttons in a table I'm using jQuery datatable plugin. The buttons say "Remove" and the idea is that when you click on that button it deletes the current row in the table.
When I call fnDeleteRow
it seems to work the first time but no any further time for that row so it looks like its not really deleting the row properly.
Try this:
var row = $(this).closest("tr").get(0);
oTable.fnDeleteRow(oTable.fnGetPosition(row));
If it doesn't work, check the following example
Let's say you attached a function to be called when the user clicks on the button. The function would be something like this
function DeleteRow(event)
{
//get the row of the cell that is clicked
var $row = $(this).parents("tr").eq(0)
//if you need the id you can get it as
var rowid = $row.attr("id");
//now you can call delete function on this row
$row.delete();
}
How about this:
// Delete Row
$('.glyphicon-minus').on("click", function() {
configTable.row($(this).closest("tr").get(0)).remove().draw();
});
from this page:
$('#example tbody td').click( function () {
/* Get the position of the current data from the node */
var aPos = oTable.fnGetPosition( this );
//...
} );
This is how it works for me. In document ready function I assign converted version of HTML table to a variable and when a button in the is clicked I go through parents/childs with JQuery and send the row you get as a parameter to the library's fnDeleteRow() function.
Here's is the comments from the library function. And an example that's mentioned in library.
/**
* Remove a row for the table
* @param {mixed} target The index of the row from aoData to be deleted, or
* the TR element you want to delete
* @param {function|null} [callBack] Callback function
* @param {bool} [redraw=true] Redraw the table or not
* @returns {array} The row that was deleted

* // Immediately remove the first row
* oTable.fnDeleteRow( 0 );
* } );
*/
// And here's how it worked for me.
var oTable;
$("document").ready(function () {
oTable = $("#myTable").dataTable();
});
//Remove/Delete button's click.
$("a[name='deleteColumn']").click(function () {
var $row = $(this).parent().parent();
oTable.fnDeleteRow($row);
});
