Current page selection only

This example shows the checkbox selection option being used with Ajax loaded data and a header checkbox which will select only the rows in on the current page, as defined by the select.headerCheckbox option.

In this mode the header checkbox operates on, and reflects the status on, the current page of data only.

		{ data: 'salary' }
	],
	select: {
		style: 'multi',
		selector: 'td:first-child',
		headerCheckbox: 'select-page'
	}
});

new DataTable('#example', {
	ajax: '../../../../examples/ajax/data/objects.txt',
	columns: [

			data: null,
			render: DataTable.render.select()
		},
		{ data: 'name' },
		{ data: 'position' },
