Custom delete message

bfarkas

I have setup the custom delete message shown here:
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/api/removeMessage.html

I have been trying to get it to show both first and last name in the list, but keep not quite getting there. I feel like this should be a simple add, any thoughts?

This should work:

formMessage: function ( e, dt ) {
   var selected = dt.rows( {selected: true} ).data().toArray();
   var namesStr = '';
   $.each(selected, function(key, value) {
       namesStr += ( value.first_name + ' ' + value.last_name + '</li><li>' );
   })
   return 'Are you sure you want to delete the entries for the '+
          'following record(s)? <ul><li>' + namesStr + '</li></ul>';
}

Perfect, so simple I don't know why I was going so crazy on it.
Thanks!!
