Right now what you want to do is not possible unless you use two
different fields, e.g.,
status: "ok",
statusImage: "/images/ok.gif",
That's duplicating data and is bad, I know. In version 2.0 (not yet
released), you will be able to do something like this:
ex:columns="..., concat('/images/', .status, '.gif'), ..."
ex:columnFormats="..., image, ..."
If you want to try out 2.0 then send me a private email and I'll guide you.

I'm not clear what you want here...
It would be good to send a URL to your exhibit so I can see what you
mean. Or at least attach the HTML and JSON files.
