Adding a refresh button to jQuery Datatable

SKR

Hi Allan,

I have a dataTable in my application. I am required to add a Refresh button somewhere near Search textbox within the datatable in order to refresh the table when user clicks on it. I have figured out the refresh functionality. The thing that I am stuck with is how do I include this button within the datatable? I want to access this button id in my end script. Any suggestions? Also can you tell what is the use of 'bJQueryUI'?

Can you just use normal jQuery or DOM methods to add your button?

[code]
$('').click( function () {...} ).appendTo( 'div.dataTables_filter' );
[/code]

If that isn't enough, then you could create a DataTables plug-in for your button ( http://datatables.net/blog/Creating_feature_plug-ins ) or use TableTools (which is specifically designed for buttons).

Enables the jQuery UI defaults - see bJQueryUI .
