Configurable class names

Is it possible to extend future versions of DataTables plugin to allow configuration of class names on generated elements? Sample implementation might be:

[code]
(function($) {
$.extend($.fn, {
dataTable: function(oSettings) {
if (typeof oSettings.asClasses !== 'undefined') {
asClasses.sInfo = oSettings.asClasses.sInfo || asClasses.sInfo;
//...
asClasses.sWrapper = oSettings.asClasses.sWrapper || asClasses.sWrapper;
}

//...
}
});

var asClasses = $.fn.dataTable.asClasses = {

sInfo = 'dataTables_info',
//...
sWrapper = 'dataTables_wrapper'
};

})(JQuery);
[/code]

It would be possible to use it this way:

[code]
oTable.dataTable( {

'asClasses': {
'sInfo': 'my_custom_info_class_name',
//...
'sWrapper': 'my_custom_wrapper_class_name'
}

//...
});
[/code]

    Hi zygimantas,

    Yes this does sound like quite an attractive option for future versions of DataTables. I've got it on my to do list (which is getting rather long... Ah for a 26 hour day...).

    Regards,
    Allan
