column().nodes()
Get the cell nodes for the selected column.
Description
This method is used to get the nodes of the table body cells (th / td elements) in the column matched by the selector.
Please note that the order of the nodes in the returned array and which rows the nodes are obtained from (searched rows, visible rows etc) is controlled by the selector-modifier option of the columns() selector used to get the selected columns.
Furthermore, please be aware that using deferRender will cause some nodes to be created only when they are required for display, so they might not be immediately available when this method is called.
Additionally, if the selector used in column() matches more than one column, the result set will be truncated to a single column - the first one in the result set.
