multiple Ajax calls to make a single table
multiple Ajax calls to make a single table

Hello Allan and everyone,
First I must say "thank you so much" for your efforts and creating such a lovely plugin. I am a systems engineer (Linux) and am doing codes for learning and fun of course!!! it means I am not experts like you so I am sorry if you find my question stupid.
And back to work ;)
Does anyone know if it's possible for DataTables 1.9 to draw a single table by using 2 Ajax calls, where, for example Ajax call 1 receives full table info from server-side script 1 but with 3 empty columns and after DataTables draws the table, Ajax call 2 calls script 2 and DataTable updates/re-draws the 3 empty columns using the newly received data from script 2?
The reason I need this is that if I want to fetch all the data at my first call it will take long as 3 of my columns are populated with calling another PHP script.
Thanks in advance
