column().header()

Get the header node for the selected column.

1.10 column().header() Get the header `dt-tag th` / `dt-tag td` cell for a column. The header cell for the selected column. This method can be used to obtain (and therefore modify) the header cell used for a column. This may be a `dt-tag th` or `dt-tag td` element depending on the HTML for your table. The cell return is the one used by DataTables for adding the ordering click listener. If you have multiple cells in a header (i.e. multiple rows), which one DataTables uses as the primary header cell is defined by the `dt-init orderCellsTop` option. Note that if the selector used in `dt-api column()` matches more than one column, the result set will be truncated to a single column - the first one in the result set. columns().header()
