The primary issue is that you were using
$.fn.dataTable.render.colorNegative(), but$.fn.dataTable.render.colorNegativeis in fact the renderer, so that should be passed in - not executed.But more than that, the
multirenderer wasn't quite right - since renderers can contain objects, allowing different functions per type, with a_property as fallback. Here is your test case updated to address both of them: http://live.datatables.net/bufafegi/3/edit .I'm wondering if we should include the multi renderer in DataTables core...

Sorry - my last change wasn't quite complete - here is the working version: http://live.datatables.net/bufafegi/4/edit .

Thanks Allan for this quality answer and working solution.
Since it allows to split big specific renderers to smaller and reusable ones, which is a good practice, I think it's a good idea. Also, it might be easier for the user to find the related doc as a reference instead of searching on the web to find this post.
If you're hesitating for core, may be plugins could be the right place for it.
Yes, I think short term it should probably go into the plug-ins, and then I'll think about it for v2
.
Thanks!
