hi, is it okay to put setTimeout in the callback ?

like this.

  "drawCallback": function( settings ) {
            setTimeout(function(){
                mytable.ajax.reload();

            },5000);

        }

because i want to reload my table in every 5 seconds.

Thank you in advance.

    I don't see why not, although as I noted in your github issue I would suggest setInterval instead.

    Hi @allan thank you for the quick reply...yes I change it to setInterval but I remove it in the drawcallback: because when I look at in the firebug it will request two 2 times.
