div.html

Set the HTML content for the element.

Description

This option is used to set the HTML content (i.e. innerHTML in DOM API terms) for the div that is created by the div feature. This option and div.text are complimentary, but not to be used together. They both set the content of the div, but in this case any HTML in the string will be __not_ be escaped making it unsafe for uncontrolled user input. Use div.text if you want plain strings. However, this option is useful for controlled input - i.e. a string you set yourself.

Example

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		top: {
			div: {
				html: 'Unsafe content: <button>BTN</button> will be rendered as a button'
			}
		}
	}
});
