jquery DataTables - change value of a cell not just display value

Question

Using DataTables I want to change the value of the data before rendering the table. I used this:

\"fnRowCallback\": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex ) {
             


        

Answer 1

You need to update the datatable, not html.

oTable.fnUpdate( newValue, rowPos, columnPos);

assuming oTable is a reference to the datatable.
