Question

I am trying to use this row highlight function and it works when the page is loaded but when I use the pagination the function doesn’t seem to stay on. The row no longer will highlight.

$("#json-table tbody tr").on("click", function(event){
    $(this).toggleClass('row_selected');
});

Answer 1

Try:

$("#json-table").on("click", "tbody tr", function(){
    $(this).toggleClass('row_selected');
});

Because you reload the table, you have to bind the on() handler to something that won’t be replaced, so use either #json-table if you only alter the children, or its parent if not.
