Is there a way to change all header values or else can we append string to specified headers

kthorngren

You can use columns.title or you can use standard jQuery or Javascript methods to change the headers values.

Is there any way to change the entire column with header and data to change its position

colin

When you say change the entire column, header and data, do you mean something like ColReorder - please see example here.

If not, please can you explain more what you're trying to achieve, as you haven't given us enough information to help you,

I need example for appending text to some specified headers

colin

If you just need to add text, you can either use columns.title as Kevin suggested, or just modify the element directly - please see example here,

can i use targets:1,2,3,4 iin columndef

kthorngren

can i use targets:1,2,3,4 iin columndef

The columnDefs.targets docs provide all the options available to specify the columns. You can specify an array.

You can use my initComplete for that - see updated example here,

For more than 2 columns how can i append?

Are you asking about columnDefs? If yes then see the columnDefs.targets documentation to learn how to specify multiple columns. If this doesn't help then please provide more details of what you are wanting to do.

I want to append
_(underscore) to all the column headers....Is that is possible.If so can you provide with the example

kthorngren

You can use the jQuery .text() API for this. It is both a getter and a setter. I updated Colin's to show this for one column:

You can use jQuery each() if you want to loop through some or all the th elements.
