Hi everyone, first of all I am new to here and ill doing my best to explain my problems clearly also I have searched many times but it seems my brain can't comprehend the codes well. :D

  1. How to pass value from Javascript-ajax to Codeigniter Controller?

  2. Coding proper syntax for Ignited DataTables in Codeigniter for use with the New, Edit and Delete function in tableTools.

This is my php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=2.0">

    <title>Students Table</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url();?>dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url();?>dist/css/dataTables.tableTools.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url();?>dist/css/dataTables.bootstrap.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url();?>dist/css/editor.bootstrap.css">
    <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url();?>dist/css/dataTables.editor.min.css"> -->

    <style type="text/css" class="init">

    body { font-size: 140%; }

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" class="init">

        var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples

        $(document).ready(function() {

                        edit: {

    </script>

</head>

<body class="editor wide comments example">
    <div class="container">
        <section>
            <h1>Students Table</span></h1>
                <div id="example_wrapper" class="dataTables_wrapper form-inline dt-bootstrap">
                    <table id="example" class="table table-striped table-bordered table-responsive" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                        <thead>

                                <th>ID</th>

                                <th>Course</th>

                </div>
        </section>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

and this is my controller:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Site extends CI_Controller {


    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('post');
    }

    public function getdatabyajax()
    {
        $this->load->library('Datatables');
        $this->datatables
            ->select('id, first_name, last_name, course')
            ->from('students');
        echo $this->datatables->generate();
    }
}

now this is the screenshot of the page:

all the functions are working except for those I mentioned above.
Do you guys have an idea on how can I achieve it.

I'm sorry I can't up it in jsfiddle or other site.

Hope someone can hear me out, thanks. :)

    This page in the Editor manual documents the parameters that the client-side sends to the server. How exactly you use that information will depend upon how CI works with reading POST data.

    Thank you for your reply, I was hoping a bit of code snippet to guide me but thanks anyway. Will try to work it out. Thanks.

    I'm afraid I don't use CI myself, so I'm not really able to help out much in that area.
