"targets": 0,
"data": "download_link",
"render": function ( data, type, row, meta ) {

In your DataTables initialisation method:

$('#example').DataTable( { .....

as shown in the example.

Here's the example page as well: https://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/column_render.html

Can you write me an example please which uses the link in a cell(render) with js sourced data? it doesn't work for me.

Loren Maxwell

Are you getting anything to show?

I just noticed from your code above you have var dataset = but DataTables is expecting an array called "data" (i.e.., var data =).

Try that first to see it makes a difference.

Also, here's an example of a link being rendered in this good discussion of preventing XSS attackes as well:
