asString	boolean	optional, specifies whether the returning result should be a string

object|array|string

a cell/row/column id or an array of them

Example

Details

If no parameters were passed to the method, it returns the id as an object (for one selected element) or as an array of objects (for several elements).

The format of the selection result if the second parameter (asString) is false:

{ column:"votes", row:4, id:4 } // "row" selection

where:

column - the column id
row - the row id
id - the string value of the ID (the same as if you passed asString)

If the "asString" parameter is set, the result value will depend on the selection mode:

"row" or true - 4 (as in the dataset)
"column" - "votes"
"cell" - "4_votes"
