Have a look at this github issue (I'm assuming you mean a placeholder?).

Yep, that's awesome and yes placeholder is the correct term. I have one more question though, I am doing my table initialization in a the prototype of an object which binds the table to the HTML element. It defined some properties like the url that the JSON data will be coming from, the table itself is a property, and a couple others (date field values). There is really only one function inside the prototype, called setupEvents(). Inside setupEvents() is where the table's actual initialization is done (ajax calls and the custom stuff). Then when the document is ready, I just tell the interpreter I want a
newone of those objects.The table's initialization is a function within the setup function's scope.
My question is, where the heck do I add the call to the
attrfunction of the table (in the example you gave me)? Outside of everything? In the $(document).ready() block? Inside the prototype as a property? I'm trying to get used to JavaScript but it's not clear to me what belongs where. Thanks again for the helpInside the $(document).ready(), after (outside of) the dataTables initialization.
