Change data of cell based on current data

LaRichy

Hi,

I have a column that gets filled trough ajax from a database.
One column has the following data: MAL or FEM or NTR
MAL for instance is whats in the DB, but it means Male, how do I show Male in stead of MAL in my column?

P.S. I'm no programmer

You would use columns.render. Similar to what you are doing in this thread:

That's a bit to hard for me
I know how to do it in PHP

Here is an example:

Sounds like you need to read up on Javascript if/else statements
