Coldfusion server side DataTables example

smccran

Hello,
I have been working with your dataTables plugin for a while now, I have to say that I think its a great piece of functionality.

I have been using it to display data from a coldfusion server request, and have had varying degrees of success over time. I have arrived at a working solution, and thought I'd share my observations with you all. Because of this I have documented the process's I have gone through, and put together an example:

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks

Hi Shaun,

I noticed your script a few days ago and linked it on the DataTables news feed: http://datatables.net/news.php (third item on the DataTables home page at this time as well). Very interesting and a good write up - thanks for doing it and sharing with us all :-)

Have you seen the ColdFusion server-side script available on this site: http://datatables.net/development/server-side/coldfusion ? It's fairly feature complete (although all additions are most welcome!).

Regards,
Allan

Hi allan,
Thanks for that, really easy for people to find. I had had a glance through that site, but unfortunately I'd already written half of my framework!

Thanks
Shaun
