get a column click in dataTables plugin instead of row - jquery-ui

Question

I have the following code that works great for row click, but I want the first and last column to be clickable and I want to be able to tell which column was clicked. I have the following code
$(document).ready(function() {
oTable = $('#mytable').dataTable();
var fa = 0;
$('#submit tbody td ').click(function() {
var gCard = $('#mytable tbody').delegate("tr", "click", rowClick);
});
function rowClick() {
fa = this;
var id = $("td:eq(1)", this).text();
cardNumber = $.trim(id);
$.ajax({
url : 'myurltopostto',
type : 'POST',
data : {
id : id
},
success : function(data) {
oTable.fnDraw(); //wanted to update here
},
error : function() {
console.log('error');
}
});
}
});
the code here is the row click
var gCard = $('#mytable tbody').delegate("tr", "click", rowClick);
what can I do for a cell click and get info.
using jquery plugin dataTables
thanks

Answer 1

When you do it $('#submit tbody td ').click(function() ... you bind click event to the td.
So, to get the first and last column click use the following:
$('td:first, td:last', '#submit tbody tr').on('click', function() {
// do what you want
});

updated 1:
Get last two columns:
jQuery('#mytable tr').each(function() {
jQuery('td', this).slice(-2).on('click', function() {
// do what you want
});
});

update 2: Get each column data on click last two columns
jQuery('#mytable tr').each(function() {
jQuery('td', this).slice(-2).on('click', function() {
// do what you want
var $columns = jQuery(this).siblings('td').andSelf();
jQuery.each($columns, function(i, item) {
alert(jQuery(item).html());
});
});
});

Answer 2

Just specify a column number instead of first, last, etc. The example below shows column 12. zero is first. It's easier that way.
td:eq(11)

Answer 3

$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#tableID').DataTable();
$('#tableID').on('click', 'tr', function () {
var data = table.row( this ).data();
alert( 'You clicked on '+data[0]+'\'s row' );
} );
} );
