reuse ajax source for multiple tables on the same page

Schnaaf

Hi,

First of all happy new year and WOW WHAT A GREAT MODULE!

I'm using datatables with ajax. I have multiple datatables on the same page displaying data from the same data source. How can I prevent requesting the exact same ajax data source multiple times?

Test case: http://live.datatables.net/yiluxude/1/edit

In this case http://live.datatables.net/examples/ajax/data/objects.txt is requested three times, once for every table. How can I make it request the data source only once and reuse this in all three datatables?

Hi,

What I would suggest is that you make the Ajax call to get the data yourself using $.ajax() and then use the data option, or rows.add() method, to add the data tot he tables.
