    Its specifically the `<>` symbols that are causing a problem is it? I've just tried it here ( http://editor.datatables.net/release/DataTables/extras/Editor/examples/index.html ) and it seems to work okay.

    Oh I see! You want to escape the HTML entities on output since DataTables does .innerHTML = {data} - so is a tag.

    You could use something like:

    [code]
    mData: "browser",
    mRender: function ( data, type, row ) {
    return data.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(//g,'>') ;
    }
    [/code]
