dataTable row selection without radiobutton/checkbox/commandlink

I'd like to be able to get the user's row selection without requiring them to click on a radio button or link but cannot figure out how. All the row selection topics in this forum have great solutions but require adding a selection column containing a commandlink or radiobutton which is visually and functionally unattractive. Any suggestions?

I used JavaScript to do it. I obtained the JavaScript from: http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-dat.html#SelectRowByRadioButtonLook for it at the end of that article.

Thanks for the reply.

However, I need to be able to act upon the row click inside my backing bean, not just simply highlight the row (which is all that the javascript you pointed to does). When a row is clicked, I need to highlight it and update two other tables based on the selected row.

You can submit a form using JS. Just extend that onclick highlighting script with document.formname.submit().
