I've tried the other solutions but been unable to make it work.
How do I make each row of DataTables a hyperlink to its ENSG ID? I've tried to do it outside the Ajax interface.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>Datatable Demo1 | CoderExample</title>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.dataTables.css">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >
$(document).ready(function() {
var dataTable = $('#gene-grid').DataTable( {
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax":{
url :"gene-grid-data.php", // json datasource
type: "post", // method , by default get
error: function(){ // error handling
$(".gene-grid-error").html("");
$("#gene-grid").append('<tbody class="gene-grid-error"><tr><th colspan="3">No data found in the server</th></tr></tbody>');
$("#gene-grid_processing").css("display","none");
}
}
} );
} );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<table id="gene-grid" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ENSG ID</th>
<th>Gene</th>
<th>Biotype</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</div>
</body>
I would store the id of the row in a data attribute and then write a click handler to do this... Just remember though, datatables creates dynamic html so if setting a click event for something that is getting destroyed and redrawn, you will need to attach the handler to a parent element. I usually use the body element.
//add this option to datatables initialization
//this will add a data attribute containing the id
//to each row in table.
"rowCallback": function( row, data ) {
$(row).data('id',data.ID);
}
//handler to redirect to detail page...
$('body').on('click', 'tr', function(){
window.location = "http://svr/app/controller/action/" + $(this).data('id');
});
