YUI datatable get contents of selected row?

Question

Hi, all.

I'm trying to get the contents of a cell in a row in a YUI datatable.

I can use myDataTable.getSelectRows()[0] to get teh first selected row, however, how do I get the contents of the first cell in that row?

Thanks!

It looks like getSelectRows() returns an array of record IDs. You can retrieve the corresponding record using getRecord(). Once you have a record, use getData() to retrieve the value of the field you are interested in.

var recordID = myDataTable.getSelectRows()[0],
    record = myDataTable.getRecord(recordID);
console.log(record.getData("myField"));
