How to simulate dataset cursor ability on datatables?

WDev

I've several tables on one page with one-to-one and one-to-many dependences. How can I simulate dataset cursor for each table? I want to get, store and set current row for each table.

What is a dataset cursor?

I think a handler to the current record (row of datatable) with navigation ability (first, prev, next, last).

What current row of the DataTable? You can get the data for the rows which are displayed using the rows().data() method. Rarely is there only one row shown at a time though.

OK. I mean something like examples/api/select_single_row. Initially selected row takes cursor. Then I want to navigate with Up and Down keys, store last cursor position and return to it as needed.
May be fnScrollToRow with searching in table data will solve all my problems.

You could use fnGetSelectedRows() and then a little bit of jQuery to move to the next row. That is what I have done in this Editor example: http://editor.datatables.net/examples/api/backNext.html
