DataTables example - Generated content for a column

In some tables you might wish to have some content generated automatically. This can be done in a number of ways:

This examples shows the use of columns.defaultContent to create a button element in the last column of the table. There is no action taken on a click of the buttons in this example, but I'm sure you can see how jQuery listeners could be used to perform custom actions.

Note also that the columns.data option for the column has been set to null to indicate that the column has no information that should be sourced from the Ajax data source object.
