I am new to JQuery. I am trying to create a DataTable. All the functionality works very well. But in DataTable records first column is userid, say 1,2,3 etc which are hyperlink to user profile page. i.e. when click on 1, it will call /userprofile.jsp?id=1 ..I don't know how to make these changes.Any help appreciated.

I never worked with jsp. But here an idea.
Based on your description, you're binding 1 on first column. Instead create a hyperlink there with URL.

Before

HTML

<td>1</td>

After

HTML

<td><a href="/userprofile.jsp?id=<b>1</b>">1</a></td>

Create dynamic URL with ID value & put that hyperlink in first column.

The fnRender function helps to create the links using the values of the other columns. You can use the oObj.aData to get the values of the other column like id to generate the links.

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
        $('#companies').dataTable({
            bProcessing: true,         
            sAjaxSource: '@Url.Action("Index1", "Default1")',
            aoColumns: [
                      null, // first column (RoleId)
                      null, // second column (RoleName)  
                      null, // third (UserId)
                      null, // fourth (UserName)

                      {     // fifth column (Edit link)
                        "sName": "RoleId",
                        "bSearchable": false,
                        "bSortable": false,
                        "fnRender": function (oObj)                              
                        {
                            // oObj.aData[0] returns the RoleId
                            return "<a href="/Edit?id=" <br mode="hold" />                                + oObj.aData[0] + "">oObj.aData[0]</a>";
                        }
                       },


                   ]
     });
