The problem with this is that "mmm" is much wider then "iiii", but the latter is a longer string - thus the calculation can go wrong (doing it properly and putting it into an DOM object and measuring that is horribly(!) slow). Thus as a "work around" we provide this option. It will append its value to the text that is found to be the longest string for the column - i.e. padding.</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sDefaultContent"></a><a name="sDefaultContent_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sDefaultContent">sDefaultContent</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Allows a default value to be given for a column's data, and will be used whenever a null data source is encountered (this can be because mData is set to null, or because the data source itself is null).</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" odd"><a name="sName"></a><a name="sName_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sName">sName</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>Name for the column, allowing reference to the column by name as well as by index (needs a lookup to work by name).</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sSortDataType"></a><a name="sSortDataType_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sSortDataType">sSortDataType</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Custom sorting data type - defines which of the available plug-ins in afnSortData the custom sorting will use - if any is defined.</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" odd"><a name="sSortingClass"></a><a name="sSortingClass_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sSortingClass">sSortingClass</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>Class to be applied to the header element when sorting on this column</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sSortingClassJUI"></a><a name="sSortingClassJUI_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sSortingClassJUI">sSortingClassJUI</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Class to be applied to the header element when sorting on this column - when jQuery UI theming is used.</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" odd"><a name="sTitle"></a><a name="sTitle_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sTitle">sTitle</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>Title of the column - what is seen in the TH element (nTh).</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sType"></a><a name="sType_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sType">sType</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Column sorting and filtering type</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" odd"><a name="sWidth"></a><a name="sWidth_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sWidth">sWidth</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>Width of the column</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd><dt class=" even"><a name="sWidthOrig"></a><a name="sWidthOrig_details"></a><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#sWidthOrig">sWidthOrig</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string</span></span></dt><dd class=" even"><p>Width of the column when it was first "encountered"</p><div class="collapse_details"><dl class="details"> </dl> </div></dd> </dl></div> </div> </div> <div class="fw_footer"> DataTables: Copyright 2008-2012 Allan Jardine, all rights reserved<br> Documentation generated by <a href="https://github.com/micmath/JSDoc">JSDoc 3</a> on 23th Sep 2012 - 14:27 with the <a href="http://datatables.net/">DataTables</a> template. </div> </body> </html>
