Accessing the ajax server response object

neptunian

[code]
var wTable = $('#workflowsTable').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"sAjaxSource": "/api/jobs/workflows",
"aoColumns": [
{ "mDataProp": "status" },
{ "mDataProp": "label" },
{ "mDataProp": "jobs_complete" },
{ "mDataProp": "workflow" },
{ "mDataProp": "jobs_failed" },
{ "mDataProp": "jobs_waiting" },
{ "mDataProp": "start" },
{ "mDataProp": "end" }
]
});

[/code]

Here is the extent of my code and my table is working nicely. But i'd like to access the return json object somehow.. similar to what the jquery $.ajax() function does. I would like to perhaps do some logic before the data actually populates the table. For eg if a property is empty than display some custom piece of text. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Sounds like fnServerData is just want you want. You'll be able to intercept the JSON return and do whatever processing you want on it.
