Create header titles within datatables

Is there any way I can create the header titles inside datatables and not in the HTML? As the header titles I get them using a dynamic ajax call ...

Use columns.title for this.

Is there now a way to create X number of <th> in footer depending on the number of titles/columns dynamically?

I tried doing it using just normal JS in a loop to give me the exact amount :

$('table>footer>tr').append('<th></th>');

But datatables doesn't like this, he ignores it, as if it didn't exist. Is there a reason why datatables wouldn't use the pre-created th's in JS right before the initialization of datatables?
