<title lib="TableTools">Row selection - row selector on specific cells</title>

<info><![CDATA[

By default, TableTools' row selector option will register a row selection click on any part of the row. Although this is often desirable, you might wish at times to limit the row selection to just a single column, or other elements in the row. This might be useful, for example, with [Editor's](//editor.datatables.net) inline editing, so you don't select the row on click of a cell that is to be edited.

The `sRowSelector` method provides this ability, allowing a custom jQuery selector to be passed in. TableTools will use the parent row of any element that is selected by the end user.

In this case, the row selector is attached to the cells in the first column of the table, and [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome) is used to display a checkbox indicating the selection state of the row, in addition to the row background colouring.
