Static Table then Load from Server

Wolffy

Wondering if this is possible. When my page initially loads, I have a static table on which I apply dataTable. Subsequent to that, user interaction my update, add or delete data to this table -- so I would like to reload the data in this table via Ajax. Just wondering if there is any way to 'convert' a table from DOM loading to Ajax Loading on the fly.

Or perhaps, since only one row in the table will be updated,/deleted/added at a time -- should I using the API then to update the table based on the success of the Ajax call?

Well heck, sometimes just posting the question gives that moment of clarity needed. Rather than reload the whole table from the server, I'm going with the fnUpdate/fnDelete/fnAddData route -- seems to make more sense now.

Deferred loading might be an option for you: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/server_side/defer_loading.html

Thanks Allan, that was the piece I was looking for. Tho for now, I'm, finding the API route doing exactly what I need it to do.
