returning json, using mDataProp, and adding a span wrapping a value

mg

If I wanted to wrap the value in a table cell with a , giving some value,
then using DataTables 1.9.2, is there an example of the best way
to go about doing this when returning json in fnServerData and using mDataProp?

There are a number of ways to do it:

1. Get the server to return the data with the span tags always in place
2. Use fnRender to add the span tags - *edit* Use mRender now - fnRender is deprecated.
3. Use mDataProp as a function to add the span tags - http://datatables.net/blog/Orthogonal_data

DataTables 1.9.3 will add yet another option - mRender - much like mDataProp but a little easier to use.

hello,

solution i found using mRender to wrap the text with a div style eg cell text here:

[code]
"aoColumnDefs": [
{
"aTargets": [ 0 ],
"mData": "0",
"mRender": function ( data, type, full ) {
return ''+data+'';
}
}
],
[/code]

Absolutely - mRender is now the way to do this :-). Thanks for posting.
