Display Array items in a cell

csk

I have a response which has array in it. Right now it shows as a string, but i would like to have it as a list item in a cell.
Eg: data = {test1, test2, test3}
Right now it displays as --> test1, test2, test3
I would need it as --> test1
test2
test3

Can someone please let me know on how to achieve this?

You could use the mRender option with array syntax - for example:

[code]
mData: 'myArray',
mRender: '[
]'
[/code]

Hard to be more specific without being able to see an example, but that's the basic idea.

Its not really working as expected.

I have one column data which returns an array.
The solution you have provided is working if has more than one item, but when there is only one item, its splitting that.

Eg: mData = {test1, test2, test3}
Returns: test1
test2
test2

but if
mData = {test1}
Returns: t
e
s
t
1

That's odd. Can you copy and paste a sample of the data that isn't working into here please so I can take a look?

Thanks,

I apologize, after carefully looking at the return data, if it has single item, its returns as a string, otherwise its returns as an array.

Your solution works great !!

By the way, this is the first time i am using datatables, and its really great and the more important is the documentation.

I appreciate the work. So easy to use.
