DataTables Server side processing with link dillema
<p>I'm usign DataTables to display +100k of records with success but now i cannot add a custom link to the table because is generated with javascript where i get a bit lost.
what i want to achieve is the last column to display a link similar to this: a href="index.php?edit=ID" where id is the id from the db
below can be seen the php and html used in this.</p>
