Hi,
What is the best way for me to see the JSON data that is loaded by data tables (to debug server side code)?
Is there a function which I can use to output the data to the dom?
If I go straight to the server side URL, I don't see any data, but only a JSON string like:

{"id":-1,"error":"","fieldErrors":[],"data":[],"aaData":[{"DT_RowId":"row_0","LName":"English"},{"DT_RowId":"row_1","LName":"Dutch"}]}

###

Moreover, in the above example I assume that DT_RowId is used internally by DT. I don't see any of my primary key names here.

    I figured this out: Firebug and XHR data viewer

    DataTables uses DT_RowId to assign an ID to the TR elements it creates. This allows Editor to uniquely identify each row - needed for submission to the server.
