Use font awesome icon returned from server in a table cell

kpgraci

I've looked around the excellent documentation (thanks for that) and have one remaining question...

In my server-side column data I return column data like "fa-file-o" and I want that to render in the tables as <i class="fa fa-file-o>,/i>"

Is there a way to do this?

OK, I answered my own questions, here it is:

        columns: [
            { "data": "Icon",
              "orderable": false,
              "render": function (data, type, row) { return "<i class='fa " + data + "'></i>" } 
             },
            { "data": "CreatedOn", "orderSequence": [ "desc", "asc" ] },
            { "data": "Description", "orderable": false  }
        ]

So how do I mark this as answered?

Currently the forum doesn't let you mark your own replies as the answer (I need to get around to changing that). I've marked your reply as the answer for now though.
