Newbie Question: Passing Parameter via Ajax

johnw

Allan,

I'm using client side so currently I call an ajax and then filter on the columns. Is there any way for me to pass the parameters when making an ajax call so I don't retrieve all of the records. Thanks.

Sure - use the ajax.data option to send data to the server. Then you can filter the data on the server-side however you like.

Allan,

So I guess I need to use ServerSide option. I guess you cannot do this using clientside. I'm still learning, but this is a great software. Thanks Allan!

You can do it client-side. You can use the ajax.data parameter that I mentioned to send data to the server.

Just because you are Ajax loading data doesn't implicitly imply server-side processing. Most of the Editor demos Ajax load data, but are using client-side processing. The "processing" in this case is referring to where the sorting, filtering, etc happens.
