Selection of Row in DataTable

[santhoshsamala]

I have the datatable with following code

Code: Select all

<p:dataTable var="workingContract" value="#{dashboardAction.workingContracts}" selectionMode="single" id="workingContractTable">

I have changed the css to

Code: Select all

.ui-state-highlight {border: 1px solid #da852b; background: #ffd190; color: #000000; box-shadow: none; text-shadow: none;}

It will highlight the row whenver it is selected. as of now this is working.

I have a link in one of the cell in the datatable, whenevr i click on it a new window opens with options. If i click on that link the row is not highlighted, however if i click anywhere else on the row it is highlighted. I want the row to be highlighted whenver i click on the link in that particular row, please help me to resolve this
