title: How to make a jQuery table editable for specific column only
body: <p>The code I have is below using a simple DataTable . I get the data and all sorting is great but now I want to update the cell contents in last column only which is the "reason not covered" column  and submit it back as update to DB possibly by AJAX calls  . I am not sure whether to use Editor or JEditable to make the table editable and how to make it editable for that column alone . Have tried different options using makeEditable and Editor but cannot make the inline cell contents editable for column or cell .Have <strong>dataTables.editor.min.js</strong> in the script path. Also tried jEditable with <strong>jquery.jeditable.mini.js</strong> Any help deeply appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>jquery-3.1.1.min.js, jquery.dataTables.min.js, dataTables.buttons.min.js, buttons.colVis.min.js, dataTables.editor.min.js</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;script&gt;
          $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#selectedDetails').DataTable({

              "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
              "fixedHeader": true,
              "scrollY": '400px'
          });
  
  
      } );&lt;/script&gt;
  
  
  
      &lt;table id = "selectedDetails" class="table table-striped table-bordered" cellspacing="0" width="80%"&gt;
       &lt;caption&gt;&lt;h3&gt;DETAILS FOR SELECTED FILTERS: &lt;font color="brown"&gt;FORM ID&lt;/font&gt;=&lt;font color="blue"&gt;&lt;%=request.getAttribute("formNameSelection")%&gt;&lt;/font&gt; AND &lt;font color="brown"&gt;COVERED IN AUTOTAX&lt;/font&gt; = &lt;font color="blue"&gt;&lt;%=request.getAttribute("YesOrNoValueSelection") %&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;
