.row().data().invalidate().draw() causes table to reload

moden

I am trying to preform a single row update of a ajax enabled datatable. I update the row using the following code:

oTableErrors.row(itemrow).data(item).invalidate().draw();

where item contains the updated object from the server.

The table reloads instead of just drawing the one line.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Are you using server side processing?

If so the draw() will request the current page data each time its executed.

OK, so is there a way to update a row in data table that is using server side processing without refreshing the whole table?

No. Server-side processing fundamentally means that every draw of the table will make an Ajax request to the server to get the data for the page. If you want to refresh the data shown, it needs to make an Ajax request to get the 10 rows (or whatever) again.
