Disable JQuery datatable checkbox when selected by user

Question

I would like to disable the datatable checkbox (which is the first column of my table). Basically, when a button is clicked, all selected checkboxes should be disabled.

I am able to get the indices of selected rows by using

table.column(0).checkboxes.selected();

But I'm not quite sure how to proceed from there, aka how to reference the checkbox elements. I've tried using

var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')

to get all checkboxse, but I wasn't able to use prop('disabled', false). For example, when I do

checkboxes[1].prop('disabled', false)

I get the "prop is not a function" error.

Could someone help me here?

checkboxes isn't a jQuery object so it doesn't have a prop function. Use var checkboxes = $('input[type=checkbox]') instead and see if that works. Also, you probably want to set disabled to true, not false.

That didn't eliminate the error. However, I found that I could directly access the property by doing checkboxes[1].disabled = true, and that worked for me.

If you figured it out - great. If not, go ahead and post a snippet of your html and JS and I'll continue to help as best I can
