Make datatables refresh with filter from link/input box

Xenoxsis

Hi everyone, and hi datatables,

I'm thrilled that I found this tool, its exactly what I need in order to show a list it products. I show a list with images, names, manufacturer and a category. Now I have everything set up nicely in a C# MVC project, and I use server side processing to asynchronously manage the data.

Now before I discovered data tables, I had the page show a quick overview of categories (seen here: http://www.laktosefri.dk/Products/ - Right side, called "Kategorier")

Is there a way to have these categories make the datatable serverside to update (either through filtering or other) so that when I click a category link outside the actual datatable, it will update the data?

Hope the question is clear enough.

If you want to filter the table you can use fnFilter - or if you want to change the data source for the table you can use fnServerParams to send a different parameter, indicating the category, to the server-processing script.
