table

Since: Editor 1.3

The DataTable that Editor will operate on.
Please note - this property requires the Editor extension for DataTables.

Description

To have Editor operate as an editor for DataTables, it needs to be able to identify which DataTable it should operate on. This option provides that ability.

Note on backwards compatibility

Editor 1.2- provided domTable as the option for how to configure Editor to operate with a DataTable. This parameter has been renamed to be simply table in Editor 1.3, as a simplification. This change is fully backwards compatible, as Editor will this recognise the domTable option, but it recommends that this newer option is used in preference.

Type

string|DataTable.Api|node|jQuery

The DataTable this instance of Editor should operate on. This can be:

  • string - A jQuery selector that will identify the table (e.g. #myTable).
  • DataTable.Api - A DataTables API instance for the DataTable
  • node - The table DOM node
  • jQuery - A jQuery object that contains the table.

Example

:

var editor = new DataTable.Editor({
	ajax: 'php/staff.php',
	table: '#myTable'
});
