Is it possible to export data other then the data in datatables

DavidWan

i just wanted to do a simple task like selective export and it works properly, but as far as export all is concerned it takes only the data present at the client side. what i actually want is to export whole data using html5 excel export button can we achieve this(remember ii have done server side processing).

sorry i am asking lot of questions but i just started using datatables

A simple forum search for "export all" finds plenty of information.

hello..

1. Use a server-side process to create the files to download (recommended)

2. Disable server-side processing.

3. I don't get it what files to create.

4. if i disable the server side processing then huge amount of data is coming at client side and takes ages to get populated in the data table.
   i have instead of all this found a solution to export all without using data table export to excel button...
   what i am really concerned about is selective export if
   server side = true
   i can then only select the items present to the client ..but problem is it can not track the row or record selected at page 1.... because i need to export both rows from page 1 and page 2 ofcourse which are selected..
