I have got a link column in my table. How can I capture a click on that link by jQuery?
I tried several thinks, but even the most general jQuery("a").click gets triggered when clicking any link within the table.
I even added a class element in the <a> links in class.link.wpdatacolumn.php. So a link would print out <a class="wpdatatable" href="http://www.google,de">Link</a> and removed the target=_blank to remain in the current window.
But no change either with jQuery(".wpdatatables").
How can I select links in a wpdatatable by jQuery?
If I understand correctly you want to click on a link and get that link with jQuery. E.g. cell data is www.google.com||Google and you want to get just www.google.com?
yes I want to process the href value of that link by some external jQuery/AJAX script. In order to do that I need to capture the click on a link within wpdatatables, e. g.
jQuery('.wpdatatables').click(function(e) { ... // do something });
But no matter what I define the click event will not get fired. Seems like the click already gets consumed by another script.
Question is: which jQuery-selector gets me the click on a link column within wpdatatables?

Hi Lennart,
You can use this code as example how to get href attribute from table:
jQuery(window).load(function() { jQuery("#table_1").on('click', 'td > a', function() { var link = jQuery(this).attr('href'); alert(link); }).DataTable(); });WOW it worked! Thank your very much, Milos!
You should published that on your homepage: Accessing table with external jQuery script!
Thanks (again)!
