Toggling between different tables

marina

I would like to have a drop down of table names and based on the users selection switch the table currently being displayed. Currently I have one table showing (using server-side processing) , I have the drop down graphically there however not quite sure how to hook it up with DataTables.

I need to somehow pass a variable to server_processing.php containing the new tables name. Not sure how or if possible to add the call below:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#the_table').dataTable({
'bProcessing':true,
'bServerSide':true,
'sAjaxSource':'server_processing.php'
}).fnSetFilteringDelay();
});

Any help appreciated,
Marina

Passing extra variables to the server-side processing script: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/server_side/custom_vars.html (needs 1.8.2).
