Is it possible to add a title (or other attribute) to an individual cell using columns.render

gzarambo

I've been using columns.render to insert html elements into an individual cell, doing something like this in the table/columndefs definition:

"render": function(data,type,row){
  return data === 1 ? "<img src='../images/complete.gif'>" : "<img src='../images/complete_disabled.gif'>";
}

However, I'd like to be able to attach a title attribute to individual cells, but I can't figure out how to get a reference to the cell within the render function. Is there a way to do this in the table definition, or do I have to add this after the table is defined using something like rows().every()?

columns.render lets you manage what is showing inside the cell only - it does not allow modification of the node itself (this is because the node might not be created until after the rendered data is required).

Use columns.createdCell, or the API as you suggest, to manipulate the DOM elements.

createdCell was what I was looking for. Thanks much!
