<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable( {
        "ajax": "objects.txt",
        "columns": [
            { "data": "name" },
            { "data": "position" },
            { "data": "office" },
            { "data": "extn" },
            { "data": "start_date" },
            { "data": "salary" }
        ]
    } );
} );
</script>
<div class="container">
<table id="example" class="table table-striped table-bordered table-responsitive" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <thead>

I think this will help you:

Column Selector

Row Selector

OR

You can try this type of code using JQuery:

    $('#example tbody').on( 'click', 'td', function () {
        alert('Data:'+$(this).html().trim());
        alert('Row:'+$(this).parent().find('td').html().trim());
        alert('Column:'+$('#example thead tr th').eq($(this).index()).html().trim());
    });
