Calling a function from a hyperlink

wathers

I there, I am using fnRowCallback function to draw a hyperlink as follows:

"fnRowCallback": function(nRow, aoData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
$('td:eq(0)', nRow).html('

If test2 is meant to be a string, it needs to have quotes around it. Its not really DataTables specific, but in general I'd strongly recommend you don't use DOM0 events (onclick etc) and use jQuery events instead.

Thanks Allan. I use jquery click event and then hooked it up to a listener. One concern I have, which I'm hoping you can alleviate, is in relation to how server side processing works as a whole. For example, whenever I make a search am I in essence returning all the data again from the database ? The reason i ask, is that I am usingDT to load a specific date range worth of data into the table, but then only want to filter on what is present. Is this possible?

No - with server-side processing you are loading old the data for the current page. Not the full data set (that's the whole point of server-side processing!).

If you are using server-side processing, filtering is done at the server - it is no way to filter just want is at the client (i.e. you cannot mix client-side and server-side processing). Whatever is doing the processing needs the full data set.

Nice one Alan. I guess one thing I need to monitor is the amount of XHR calls, and to ensure that my connection objects are properly managed, I.e closed etc. great stuff
