In fnDrawCallback, why is this.DataTable.settings an array?

Thanks,

Its the original source of the `jQuery.fn.dataTable.settings` object. iT is attached to the DataTable alias (which itself is a short cut for the DataTables internals, so it compresses a bit smaller).

From its doc comment:

[quote]
* Private data store, containing all of the settings objects that are created for the
* tables on a given page.
*
* Note that the DataTable.settings object is aliased to jQuery.fn.dataTableExt
* through which it may be accessed and manipulated, or jQuery.fn.dataTable.settings.

Generally you don't want to use it... The settings object should be avoided as much as possible.
