Any way to pass a DOM element instead of a string in the columns.render parameter when using the function variant?
If not, any suggestions on how to implement complex buttons in cells that can toggle their icons or show modals?
I would prefer not having to use the onlick attribute on the button and defining the behaviour in a string.
I tried creating DOM elements and returning the outer html. but the onClick attribute is not kept when converting to string.

I'm not clear on exactly what you are trying to do. Are you trying to place buttons in the table rows? If so I believe I seen where others have had problems using onclick, could be wrong though. I would recommend using jQuery delegated events for this. Maybe one of these examples will help:
Buttons with

Buttons with

If this is off base or doesn't help please provide an example of what you are doing.
