Dinamic file ajax

ftatarli

It is possible i make a function to return the name of the file that dataTable will read ? Because this works fine:

[code]

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').dataTable({
"sAjaxSource": 'json_source.txt'
});
});

[/code]

But i need a function to set the name of the file. I try this but doesn't work.

[code]

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').dataTable({
"sAjaxSource": function test(){return 'json_source.txt';}
});
});

[/code]

I'm starting so I don't know if it is possible or silly.

It's a good idea - but I'm afraid that won't work with the stock DataTables since it expects sAjaxSource to be a string. Can't you just assign the string that is returned from the function, or do you need it to run at a later time? For example

[code]

function test(){return 'json_source.txt';}

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').dataTable({
"sAjaxSource": test()
});
});

[/code]
