I think the proper way would be:
- get the mvc element

- change drilldown settings
- re-render the table

It is little tricky at first:

var element1 = mvc.Components.get('element1');

element1.getVisualization(function(tableView) {
    tableView.settings.set('drilldown', 'none');
    tableView.table.render();
});

If You are doing this in the same script context, then You can simply use it's handler.
In this example, I've created 2 buttons - on and off:

        <button id='drillOff'>Off</button>
        <button id='drillOn'>On</button>

And then created the table and attached functions which change drilldown behaviour:

            var element1 = new TableElement({
                "id": "element1",
                "drilldown": "row",
                'drilldownRedirect': false,
                "rowNumbers": "undefined",
                "wrap": "undefined",
                "managerid": "search1",
                "el": $('#element1')
            }, {
                tokens: true,
                tokenNamespace: "submitted"
            }).render();

            $('#drillOff').click(function() {
                element1.getVisualization(function(vis) {
                    vis.settings.set('drilldown', 'none');
                    vis.table.render();
                })
            })

            $('#drillOn').click(function() {
                element1.getVisualization(function(vis) {
                    vis.settings.set('drilldown', 'row');
                    vis.table.render();
                })
            })

Hi,

get the component by id and use preventDefault to prevent the default onclick behavior.

   var myview = mvc.Components.getInstance("your_view_id");
   myview.on("click", function (e) {
       e.preventDefault();
       // To do: respond to events
   });
 });

The question is about drilldown

I know how use jquery in Splunk, but how can change drilldown settings?

I tried this, but it doesn't work:

document.getElementById('id_table').settings.set('drilldown','none');

and 

document.getElementById('id_table').setattr('drilldown','none');

Another person searched about this function:

thx

Then you have to use:

var myview = mvc.Components.getInstance("your_view_id");
myview.settings.set('drilldown', 'none');

What you did is to select a dom element. Ofcourse the dom element does not have a set function for drilldowns. Only the model of the view has the settings and methods that are mentioned in the reference here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/WebFramework

Greetings

Tom
