Link in Datatables table

Question

I need to create a link where I have the input name in the table using Datatables, this link should call a javascript function. The problem is that when the table is loaded it executes the script for each table row, as if all links were being clicked.

<script>
    $(function () {
        $("#insumos").dataTable({
            "bServerSide": true,
            "sAjaxSource": "/Insumo/BuscarInsumosDataTable",
            "bProcessing": true,
            "language": {
                "url": "/DataTables/Traducao"
            },
            "aoColumns":
                [
                    {
                        "sName": "InsumoId",
                        "mData": "InsumoId"
                    },
                    {
                        "sName": "Nome",
                        "mData": "Nome",
                        "render": function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
                            return '<a href="onclick=' + selecionarInsumo(data) + '">' + data + '</a>';
                        }
                    }
                ]
        });
    })

    function selecionarInsumo(nome) {
        alert("deu certo, " + nome)
    }
</script>

I was "simulating clicks" because filling the table was calling the function.

When you’re writing.:
return '<a href="onclick=' + selecionarInsumo(data) + '">' + data + '</a>';

The selectInsumo(data) is a javascript function and therefore will run immediately.

First embarrassment found was in the href attribute. It is started but not finished so it is necessary to change
href="
for
href="#"
If you don’t want me to lead anywhere.

When read the onclick attribute is considered javascript so to run as you want it to look like this.:

return '<a href="#" onclick="selecionarInsumo(\''+data+'\');">' + data + '</a>';

In this Return inside the onclick what is intended is text and not the function but when it is triggered the onclick will interpret javascript.

jsfiddle with the changes.:

For some reason the selectInsumo is not identified in jsfiddle, but I tested with a page and ran to 100%.
