< p > In some tables you might wish to have some content generated automatically. This can be done in a number of ways:< / p >
< ul class = "markdown" >
< li > < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > columns.render< / code > < / a > for content that is dynamic (i.e. based upon the row's data)< / li >
< li > < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.defaultContent" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > columns.defaultContent< / code > < / a > for static content (i.e. simple strings)< / li >
< / ul >
< p > This examples shows the use of < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.defaultContent" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > columns.defaultContent< / code > < / a > to create a < em > button< / em > element in the last column of the table. A simple jQuery < code > click< / code > event listener is used to watch for clicks on the row, and when activated uses the < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/api/row().data()" > < code class = "api" title = "DataTables API method" > row().data()< / code > < / a > method to get the data for the row and show a bit of information about it in an < code > alert< / code > box. This is a simple use case, but it can be built up to be arbitrarily complex.< / p >
< p > Note also that the < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > columns.data< / code > < / a > option for the column has been set to < code > null< / code > to indicate that the column has no information that should be obtained data source object.< / p >
