jQWidgets jqxDataTable enableHover Property

Last Updated : 26 Sep, 2021

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDataTable is used for reading and displaying the data from the HTML Table. This is also used to display data from various data sources like XML, JSON, Array, CSV, or TSV.

The enableHover property is used for setting or getting whether row highlighting is enabled or not in the specified jqxDataTable. This property is having two possible values that are “true” and “false“. If this property accepts a true value and when the cursor will be moved over this jqxDataTable then the row will be highlighted along with the movement of the cursor.

Syntax:

For setting the enableHover property:

$('#dataTable').jqxDataTable({enableHover: true });

For getting the enableHover property:

var enableHover = $('#dataTable').jqxDataTable('enableHover');
