Adding a $ sign in front of text

envious

I'm loading data via ajax and I can't figure out how to implement a simple $ sign in front of the columns that are numbers.

"columns": [
{"data": "Number"}
]

How do I add a doller sign for this columns.data option?

I think the best solution is to do this on the server-side before the json data is returned. This is one way to do it on the front-end. I'm not sure if there is a better way, but it works.

"columns": [ {"data": "Number",
    "fnCreatedCell": function (nTd, sData, oData, iRow, iCol) {
        $(nTd).text('$'+sData);
    }
}]
