Question

I have a YUI datatable as follows

YAHOO.example.Data = {
        bookorders: [
            {id:"po-0167", date:new Date(1980, 2, 24), quantity:1, amount:4, title:"A Book About Nothing"},
            {id:"po-0783", date:new Date("January 3, 1983"), quantity:null, amount:12.12345, title:"The Meaning of Life"},
            {id:"po-0297", date:new Date(1978, 11, 12), quantity:12, amount:1.25, title:"This Book Was Meant to Be Read Aloud"},
            {id:"po-1482", date:new Date("March 11, 1985"), quantity:6, amount:3.5, title:"Read Me Twice"}
        ]
    }

and i added a subscribe event to it

myDataTable.subscribe("rowClickEvent", function(args){   
            alert("inside click1");

            var rec = myDataTable.getSelectedRows()[0];
            .
            .
            .
            printTitle(record.title);
        });

the problem is that i can’t manage to get the selected row. i have another function printTitle to alert the title of the book on which the row was clicked.

I managed to get the selectedRow with the myDataTable.getSelectedRows()[0]. I updated my code, but now i cant seem to get the title.

Answer 1

was looking through the forums for more inspiration i stumbled upon this

another question on yui row click event

in the end i replaced the getselectedrows with

myDataTable.subscribe("rowClickEvent", function(args){   

            var record = this.getRecord(args.target);
            var title = record.getData("title");

            alert("inside click2 : " + title);

        });

and it works like a charm
