access meta data of cell in context menu action

[mikep]

thanks, that will work.  I need to pass the hovertext to a function on right click of the cell. How can I get that from cell?

 contextMenu: {
              on: true,
              items: [{
                name: 'send hovertext',
                action: function test(){ varHover = "how to get the hovertext for this cell?"} }]
  }

Code: [Select]

action: function test(evt, ui){               
  var val = ui.rowData["_" + ui.dataIndx];
  if(val){
  alert(val.split(",")[1]);
  }
}

Thank you. I need to change the value of a cell's hovertext on right click. Can you tweak the example below on the 'right click' method to change the cell's hover text, rather than calling 'alert()' ?

It's more related to use of js array manipulation.

Code: [Select]

action: function test(evt, ui){               
  var val = ui.rowData["_" + ui.dataIndx];
  if( val ){
    var arr = val.split(",");
    arr[1] = "new hovertext";
    ui.rowData["_" + ui.dataIndx] = arr.join(",");
    this.refreshCell(ui);
  } 
}
