Serverside processing with deferred loading of data

Gopal

Guys
my first post, I appreciate the quality and ease the API. Thanks to all involved.

I've a scenario where I want the Data table to use the server side processing. but It should not hit the server unless the user submits a form in the page. is it possible?

Bit more info:
1. when the page is loaded, the Datatable is loaded and is invisible, and not to hit the server for the data.
2.Now user clicks a button on the page, that calls a javascript which in turn have to activate the Datatable.
3. subsequently Datatable pulls the data from serverside, and all the further user interaction hits the server.

Is this possible?.
Apologies I'm stepping into javascript after seeing the simplicity of JQuery and its ecosystem.

Regards

This is a feature which will be included in v1.8. It is in fact the only feature I've written for v1.8 thus far - so if you fancy a copy of the development code, feel free to ping me using the contact form: http://datatables.net/contact :-)
