manual setting of total number of records/records number at datatable num

machacaz

Hello.
I'm trying to dinamic create my datatable (dt) header from server side.
what happens is that after the initial post where i get both data and column header info i had a 2nd post to the server (which is irrelevante because i already had my data).
So i disable it but then my dt is not properly initialized - i lost "navigation buttons and paging info displays for example 1 of -1 of -1 total records.

is there any way of preventing the 2nd postback but having a "proper" dt initialization?

this is my code:
this.initialize = function () {

    internalHtmlID = getHtmlIdentifier(id);

    $.ajax({
        method: "GET",
        url: url
    })
    .done(function (data) {
        internalHtmlID = getHtmlIdentifier(id);
        var oTable = $('' + internalHtmlID + '').dataTable({
            "aaSorting": [[0, "desc"]],
            "bServerSide": true,
            "processing" : true,
            "deferLoading": -1,
            "aaData": data.aaData,
            //"aaData": null,
            "aoColumns": data.aoColumns,

            "ajax": {
                "url": url,
                "dataType": "json"
            }

        });
        oTable.fnDraw(false);
    })
    .fail(function (msg) {

    });
};
