im a very beginner. i played with the Basic initialisation Zero configuration and i liked what i see. now i wanna connect my data from serverside via json. ive managed that, but now i have discovered that i have to do all actions by my own - sorting, searching, paging...

why is that? in the minimal example it was all easy and smooth, all function available. is there some hint what can i do?

    > why is that?

    Because you have server-side processing enabled. There are example scripts available ( http://datatables.net/development/server-side/ ), but obviously DataTables, being a Javascript library, it can't know anything about your server - so it can't write your server-side code for you :-).

    Do you really need server-side processing?

    http://datatables.net/faqs#speed . Up-to 50'000 in modern browsers is what I'd recommend.
