on 'select' event fires when anything in my Datatables is clicked, not just my row

I have a table with select 'single' enabled. In other tables it seems to work fine but for some reason when I click on any element in my datatables, i.e. column headers, length drop down, pagination buttons, my select event is fired and it even says its of type "row". I cannot figure out how to make the table not fire on anything other than a valid row click (not including column headers).

    I cant seem to replicate it..

    http://live.datatables.net/jeguruse/1/edit?js,output

    The top will update the time and type whenever something is selected, when I click on column headers, length, etc, it doesnt change..

    So if you can get us to replicate it, I can help, but if not, it seems to be an issue with your script specifically perhaps

    I'm not too sure how to give you an example as I believe it has to do with serverside processing. When I enable that, that is when the problem manifests. When I disable it is when it seems to go away. In terms of providing an example I'm not sure how I could best go about doing that.

    If you can't give us a link to your page, you would need to recreate a test case - you could use this as the basis for it: http://live.datatables.net/lorewiyo/1/edit .

    Why doesn't this even work for selecting rows?

    The JS files that were automatically included when you added the libraries, need to be below the core DataTables jQuery files.

    Ive noticed it does that, that may be a bug, it should insert the libraries after the jquery.dataTables.js file.

    @allan, is this something you might be able to address? I know its an issue and so I just move it lower every time, but some people dont realize that (Case in point ^ )

    So I have no idea why I cannot recreate this using the live.datatables interface. However I can confirm that my system breaks when I am using serverside processing. For whatever reason ever if I switch "serverSide": to false it does not experience this weird behavior of throwing a select event on non-row element clicks. But as soon as I enable serverSide Processing everything is thrown out of whack again and it begins registering select events on pagination/length menu clicks, with type 'row'.

    I will try using the latest and great Datatables and seeing if that affects it, but I believe I am already up to date. This is very odd behavior.

    I apologize for this thread, I grabbed a new copy of datatables with select bundled in and the problem seems to have vanished. Bizarre but that was on me, I should have tried that first.
