How to get html to display for a webcrawler?

I have links displayed in each row of my datatable. The control uses JSOn to display each row and the contents are not displayed in the html (view source). Is it possible to get html produced on the page In order to get the links crawled ot cached?

    If the crawler interprets Javascript then in theory it should just work - if it doesn't then obviously you would need to have a solution for browsers that don't have Javascript support. Creating an HTML table in the page and then enhancing that (progressive enhancement) would be the way to do with with DataTables or any other JS library.
