fnGetData and sorting

jkindness

I'm polling my server via ajax every few seconds to look for new data. I check for new data by comparing the data I get from my server with the data retrieved using fnGetData. It works fine until a sort is performed. Once a sort is performed, the data of the sorted column as returned with fnGetData is now an array of 3 elements. The second element is the actual data contained in an object. Besides the issue of the string now being in an array, it also converts the data by replacing things like & to & or single quotes to double quotes. Each conversion is different based on the browser.

So how can I access the exact data that I inputted into the table before all this sorting conversion happens?

Great script by the way!

Just so you know, I have figured out an alternative solution to this. Didn't address the problem I was having though.
