I'm sure this must be a common requirement but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to add a column of checkboxes to a table that is generated from data held in a back-end database table....
HTML:
| Time | Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Column1 | Column2 |
JScript:
var table = $('#mytable').DataTable( {
"ajax": {
url: '/cgi-bin/supp_get_data_backend.plx',
data: {
"CIs": CIs
}
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "firstoccurrence" },
{ "data": "col1" },
{ "data": "col2" }
]
});
What do I need to include in the JScript to add a column of checkboxes? I'm using the latest version of datatables: 1.10.0
Thanks.

Oh well, I suppose I'll have to answer this myself then...... :-)
In my HTML I added an extra div after the <tr> as follows.....
<tr>
<div class="mycheckbox">
<th>CB</th>
</div>
......
In the JS I added this to the columns section.......
Works lovely after that.......perhaps the manual could be updated with some additional "real life" examples?
