how to make sAjaxSource call Dynamic in DT? challenging one

Hi Allan & everyone

I am trying to apply a filter i.e DROP DOWN LIST on top of datatable .

I have 3 list items in dropdown i.e my leads,all leads,dead leads . (i binded this static )

Well on my page load The dropdownlist with My leads will be selected and data will be available according to the option choosen in dropdown list . Further if i change anything in dropdown i want my table data to change i.e need to make a call to controller action menthod to fecth data based on dropdonn selection .

I am able to load data to datatable but i have no idea how to send a call back to controller to get data based on dropdown selection before datatable fills its data via ajaxsource?

[quote]I can deal with code at controller i just need a snippet to pass the selected value to controller action method [/quote]

My code :

[code]
$('#myDataTable').dataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "AjaxHandler", //On my initial load this makes a call to AJAXHANDLER CONTROLLER ACTION METHOD and then datatable will be filled with data .. I WANT TO MAKE THIS DYNAMIC based on dropdown ?
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aoColumns": [
{
"sName": "Lead_Id"
},
{ "sName": "LeadName" },
{ "sName": "ContactName" },
{ "sName": "CompanyName" },
{ "sName": "AssignTo" },
{ "sName": "LeadStatus" }

]

}); [/code]

If you are using DataTables 1.9.4 use the fnReloadAjax plug-in which allow you to modify the Ajax url: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnReloadAjax .

If you are using 1.10, use ajax.url() - http://next.datatables.net/reference/api/ajax.url()

Hi

I am not using either versions sadly . I have compatibility issues lately . when i try to use advanced versions of data-tables i face issue on jquery version ? browser not supported some times .

Well i am keen on going a ahead with advanced version's . Would you please mention me data-tables compatibility with jquery.js file version and may bootstrap,knockout too . . I will be using IE10 present + mozilla+chrome .

My version of DataTable is 1.7 and jquery.js is 1.4.4 // sadly i can only move a ahead with this combination which works for me at present where remaining all throws me script exceptions . So any suggestions on this front so i can use above mentioned link to my advantages :)

Thank you allan

Wow - that's some old software!

1.7 is not supported at all anymore, but you could probably hack fnReloadAjax to work with it if you wanted to.

DataTables 1.10 will work with jQuery 1.7+. If you are getting errors please link to a test case.
