Custom cell content...

I see that the render method works well with a string ... But what if i return a jQuery object/or any complex object?

In summary, how do i add say a button into a column cell which has handlers ... a click handler, etc.

Currently no I'm afraid - the columns.render option cannot return a node. That is something I would like to add in future, but it introduces a lot of complexity :-)

Two options:

1. Use a single delegated event for the whole table
2. Use columns.createdCell to add the event listener.
