Question

I have the following jsfiddle that generates a YUI Datatable with checkboxes, but i have a problem getting the data of ids from the table after i click the Get Records button.

anyway to call the table from the javascript?

P.S : I am using YUI2 library as my project is using that

Answer 1

Using Checkbox Listeners

I hope this codes show what you need http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/datatable/datatable-chkboxselect.html

Edit:

I update your code for adding checkboxClickEvent for handling checkbox event in each of data row and use an array to keep all of the checked record id.

var selectedID = [];

---

myDataTable.subscribe("checkboxClickEvent", function(oArgs){ 
                alert("check box clicked");
                var elCheckbox = oArgs.target; 
                var oRecord = this.getRecord(elCheckbox); 
                if (elCheckbox.checked) {
                    selectedID.push(oRecord.getData("id"));
                } 
                else {
                    selectedID.pop(oRecord.getData("id"));
                }
                oRecord.setData("check",elCheckbox.checked); 
            });
