Using this package. Very useful, but I'm confused about one thing. I have figured out how to hide some elements in the row (to keep it fitting to the page), but how do I access those hidden values?
For example, if I've hidden the fourth <th> element, I am trying to access it via $('#edit_position').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(4)').html());
but those values are coming out undefined when I alert them out
What can I do?

I am unable to understand what are you trying to achieve.
If you can share code + screenshot …. i can suggest better.

Say I have a table and result like this
<table id="employee_grid" class="table table-condensed table-hover table-striped" width="60%" cellspacing="0" data-toggle="bootgrid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric" data-identifier="true" >Id</th>
<th data-column-id="employer">Company</th>
<th data-column-id="employer_website" data-visible="false">Website</th>
<th data-column-id="employer_contact">Contact Name</th>
<th data-column-id="employer_position" data-visible="false">Position</th>
<th data-column-id="employer_phone">Phone</th>
<th data-column-id="employer_email">Email</th>
<th data-column-id="emp_dates">Emp Dates</th>
<th data-column-id="start_date" data-visible="false">Employment Date</th>
<th data-column-id="end_date" data-visible="false">End Date</th>
<th data-column-id="employee_title">Candidate Job Title</th>
<th data-column-id="commands" data-formatter="commands" data-sortable="false">Commands</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
The above has a few columns that are hidden (as the table is too wide). Those hidden columns have values returned from the response page. What I need to do is to be able to access the data in those hidden columns when setting up the edit modal.
$('#edit_id').val(ele.siblings(':first').html()); // in case we're changing the key
$('#edit_employer').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(2)').html());
$('#edit_employer_website').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(3)').html()); //hidden
$('#edit_employer_contact').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(4)').html());
$('#edit_employer_title').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(5)').html()); //hidden
$('#edit_employer_email').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(7)').html());
$('#edit_employer_phone').val(ele.siblings(':nth-of-type(6)').html());
What I am not getting is the hidden values from the table. It seems they are not there in a hidden state where they can be accessed via the above code
