Get row index of checked row

sbarnett

I have a table with a column of checkboxes.

I can get the value of the checkboxes but I can't find a way to get the row index of the checked rows so I can get the data out of them.

Here is the code:-

[code]
$('#importbutton').click( function () {
$('input:checked', importTable.fnGetNodes()).each(function(){
var rowIndex = < how do I get the row index? >;
alert(importTable.fnGetData(rowIndex));
} );
}
[/code]

[code]
var rowIndex = importTable.fnGetPosition( $(this).closest('tr')[0] );
[/code]

use closest to get first (closest) ancestor
http://api.jquery.com/closest/

(note: passing a TR to fnGetPosition get's a single integer for the row index. if you use a TD, you will get an array for the row position, col position, and col position (ignoring hidden cols) http://www.datatables.net/ref#fnGetPosition )

Genius! I knew it's be simple but Javascript is quite new to me.

Thanks fbas - much appreciated!
