Server-side processing making too much requests

Server-side processing making too much requests

edited October 2010 in Bug reports
Hello,
I noticed that dataTables send a request to the server every time a key is pressed in the search box. This is also happens for arrow keys. The table should have a (configurable) timeout before sending a request to allow the user to complete the search term.

    This is exactly what the fnSetFilteringDelay does :-)

    Didn't notice that one. Still, the table shouldn't send a request on every keypress (ie. arrows).

    No you are quite right - that's something I'll address in the next release. Thanks.
