Hi~

i confused how to set data-source in table.
text file based data is good working but, server-side sample is not working.
is anything problems in below source?

really thanks your interesting.

// script part
$('#table_id').DataTable({
            sAjaxSource : '/reg/test.do',
            fnServerData : function(sSource, aoData, fnCallback, oSettings) {
                $.ajax({
                    "dataType" : 'json',
                    "type" : "POST",
                    "url" : sSource,
                    "data" : aoData,
                    "success" : cbSearch
                });
            },
            processing : true,
            serverSide : true,
            scrollX : 800,
            scrollY : 400

        });

var cbSearch = function cbSearch(responseText, statusText) {

        if (responseText == null) {
            alert("error");
        }
        else if (responseText != null) {
            var tb = $("#table_id").DataTable();
            tb.fnClearTable();
            tb.fnAddData(responseText["DATA"]);
            tb.fnDraw();
        }
    };

// contents of responseText["DATA"] 

{
"aaData": [    
[      "Tiger Nixon",      "System Architect",      "Edinburgh",      "5421",      "2011/04/25",      "$320,800"    ],

    To start with I would suggest using ajax rather than the old fnServerData method - since you are already using some 1.10 style parameters. Might as well be consistent!

    Also you will get Javascript errors using the fnClearTable (etc) methods since you are using $().DataTable(). You want to use the new API methods.

    Finally, since you have server-side processing enabled, the fnAddData (or newer rows.add()) are virtually useless since the redraw will make a request to the server for new data anyway.

    One more thing - do you actually need server-side processing? Are you working with 50k+ rows? Your JSON data doesn't contain the information needed for server-side processing.
