dataSrc not getting called in editor.

While working on a project, I was attempting to do an update using the datatables editor with ajax. Here is a snippet:
editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
idSrc: "lites_id",
ajax: {
url: 'myAspxPage.aspx/updateTxtData',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataSrc: function (json) {
var data = JSON.parse(json.d);
return data;
},
data: function (d) {
var dataToSend = {};
var key = Object.keys(d.data)[0];
var val = d.data[key];
dataToSend.lites_id= val.lites_id;
dataToSend.contact_num= val.contact_num;
dataToSend.provider_id= val.provider_id;
return JSON.stringify(dataToSend);
}
},
.
.
.
The update works as expected, but the return data from the code behind does not trigger the dataSrc section, causing my data not to refresh. Any ideas? .
capture of data returned: {"d":"{\"data\":[{\"lites_id\":1900137,\"first_name\":\"Olr\",\"last_name\":\"Library Common PC\",\"contact_num\":\"111/222-3333\",\"provider_id\":\"alltel\"}]}"}
Both myself and a co-worker has the same issue. They also have a version, in another application that works using something similar to above. We do not understand why this one does not work.
Would this be a better candidate to use: ajax: function (method, url, d, successCallback, errorCallback)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It doesn't look like the Editor ajax options have a
dataSrcoption. In that case you will probably need to useajaxas a function like the last example in the docs.Kevin
Correct - there is no
ajax.dataSrcoption for Editor. It will send and receive data in the format described in the manual.I think Kevin is correct (as always) - in this case, since you are sending data in a different format and returning it back in a different format, you'd be best using
ajaxas a function. Then you can parse the JSON and call the callback function with the resulting JSON.Allan
Not a problem, just hoping I could use it instead of the ajax as a function. Thanks all.
