Hi - I am using JqueryDatatables to display data on page. How do I get value of a field inside row ? Screengrab of what I tried

You have to understand that it is impossible to suggest an accurate solution when you do not provide all the information. Especially when you do not provide the HTML and property names. The screenshot looks like the property name has a space; "P Action". If there is a space then the syntax is... var TFQ = row["P Action"] The screenshot also shows a space in front of Required; " Required". Lastly, .val() is used to get the value of an input element. Are you trying to grab the value of an input or the row data? If there are no spaces in the property name or value then the syntax is... if(row.PropertyName == "SomeValue") { //Do something }

Thanks @AgaveJoe
I used Render to tap into the row.

Row contains all the values in an array. e.g. below

Sample code for render

"targets": [10], "render": function (data, type, row, meta) { debugger; if (type === 'display') { data = "<input type='button' value='Add' id='addEntry' onclick='onclickdetails(" + data + ")' class='btn btn-primary btn-xs' />"; // Here I add button var TFQ = $(row.PAction).val(); // based on some value I wish to change the behaviour like disale the button if value is not "Rocket science" if (TFQ == "Required") { alert("HI"); } } return data; }

Thanks for hanging on!

your response pointed out many mistakes I was making. I was putting $(row.PAction).val() and this would never work.

row.PAction got things going....

How do I accept your response as answer?
