I mean completely hidden, not just "not visible".
I want the user to be able to insert new data with sensitive field / information, and prefer not showing it to the html after he submit the form.
I try including the field in javascript, but skipping the field in the html. Datatable refused to load.

Do you mean the
hiddenfield type?Allan
No, hidden field is totally hidden even in the editor / form.
I want it only hidden in the html table, but the user still be able to input the value trough new / edit form.
Something like this :
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/advanced/formOnlyData.html
+
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/column_visibility/simple.html
But when the user click "Column Visibility" button, it won't show the hidden column.
If I'm not mistaken, the first link you posted should be what you're after. If the field is defined in the Editor initialisation, but not in the DataTables columns list, then it won't be in the HTML or anywhere in the DOM.
But given that you've seen that example, I suspect I'm missing something - if so, could you explain why that wouldn't work, please.

If the field is defined in the editor initialisation, but not in the DataTables column list, The DataTables failed to Render.
Unless I am missing something.
No, that's not the case. If you look at that example,
ageis only in the Editor initialisation, not DataTables, and the table still loads. The initialisation are entirely independent. and could even point to different scripts.Colin
Perhaps I am missing something, I will recheck my code. Thanks for the insight.
I think so, but please report back if you have no joy,
