The following example shows how a callback function can be used to format a particular row at draw
time. For each row that is generated for display, the createdRow function is called once and once only. It is passed the
create row node which can then be modified.
In this case a trivial example of making the 'salary' column blue and bold by adding a CSS class to
the container cell if the salary is greater than $4,000. Note that createdCell could also be used to create exactly the same
effect.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"createdRow": function ( row, data, index ) {
if ( data[5].replace(/[\$,]/g, '') * 1 > 4000 ) {
$('td', row).eq(5).addClass('highlight');
}
}
} );
} );
In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:
The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:
This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown below:
td.highlight {
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
}
The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:
This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.
