set the options for a standalone editor select field: var optionsA = []; $.getJSON("php/lookupAdvisorsById.php", { term: "-1" }, function (data) { var option = {}; $.each(data, function (i, e) { option.label = e.text; option.value = e.id; optionsA.push(option); option = {}; }); } ).done(function () { enrEditor.field('est.HomeroomAdvisor').update(optionsA); }); Thanks to Allan for showing me how to do this.

Thanks Kevin I am really struggling to work out how put a select field in column 1 only and leave input fields for the rest. Here is what i have already. http://live.datatables.net/jomoruma/4/edit Thanks Rich

Yes, the select field type allows this (as does checkbox and radio). The update() method of each of those field types can be used to either append a single item to the list, or replace all existing options. Allan

Can you link to your page showing the issue please? The example you linked to appears to be showing the select field inline for me no problem. Allan

get rid of the "select" field type. editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({

I'm afraid I'm not fully understanding what you are looking for here. Do you want the select field to not be enabled (i.e. have it as readonly)? If so, disable() or field().disable() is the way to do that. Regards, Allan

Editor's select field does actually have an option to be able to use the placeholder as a value - placeholderDisabled and placeholderValue are the two properties of interest there: select. Allan

some code in its select field type to handle this

Yes - the select field is the way to do this. If this example doesn't help to resolve the problem, could you post your full Javascript code please, and also the JSON response from the server when loading the data? Allan

is the built in select field type's multiple option. It
