Include parameter in every datatables instance by default

Alex3917

I am using datatables across a large number of views, and in each of them I am using the fnServerData parameter. Is it possible to automatically include this parameter by default when new tables are initialized, rather than cutting and pasting the line:

fnServerData: myFunction,

into the list of initialization parameters in every view?

Oh wait, I see that there is there $.fn.dataTable.defaults that I can extend, which should do what I want.

However, I have a couple tables that don't use serverside data. Will these break in any way if I include an fnServerData parameter in my defaults, or will it just not get called and otherwise work fine?

It will work just fine :-) The server data function will only be called when needed.
