title: DataTables rendering custom column
body: <p>Is it possible to render custom column in DataTables.net? I've read a lot of tutorials and documentations, but cannot make it working. I would like to create thirds column with link where I use information from first column. My code looks like these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () {
      $('#categories').DataTable({
          "ajax": '@Url.Action("Table", "Categories")',
          "columns": [
              { "data": "Name" },
              { "data": "Parent" },
              null
          ],
          "columnsDefs": [
              {
                  "render": function(data){
                      return "&lt;a href='~/Admin/Categories/Edit' + data.Name + '&gt;EDIT&lt;/a&gt;";
                  },
                  "targets": 0
              }
          ]
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In json I'm only getting Name and Parent column informations. Any ideas to create third column with Name inside it? Thanks!</p>
