If I wanted to wrap the value in a table cell with a , giving some value,
then using DataTables 1.9.2, is there an example of the best way
to go about doing this when returning json in fnServerData and using mDataProp?

    There are a number of ways to do it:

    1. Get the server to return the data with the span tags always in place
    2. Use fnRender to add the span tags - *edit* Use mRender now - fnRender is deprecated.
    3. Use mDataProp as a function to add the span tags - http://datatables.net/blog/Orthogonal_data

    DataTables 1.9.3 will add yet another option - mRender - much like mDataProp but a little easier to use.

    hello,

    solution i found using mRender to wrap the text with a div style eg cell text here:

    [code]
    "aoColumnDefs": [
    {
    "aTargets": [ 0 ],
    "mData": "0",
    "mRender": function ( data, type, full ) {
    return ''+data+'';
    }
    }
    ],
    [/code]

    Absolutely - mRender is now the way to do this :-). Thanks for posting.
