`table.ajax.reload()` won't work

abhijitghate

I am having a input field on my front end where I accept a code which is used to fetch data from the backend and display it in datatable. I am making a ajax call to bring that data to the front. But when I change the value in the input field (and try to update data in datatable using table.ajax.reload()) , the ajax call by the datatable holds on to older code. So the table wont get updated. Please help.

"ajax" :  {
                               url : "/my/url",
                                dataSrc:"",`
                                data:{'form':$("#my_id").serialize() , 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrf_token},
                                contentType : "application/json",
                                complete: function(data){
                                   $(".overlay").hide();
                                    
                                },
                                success: function(){
                                    console.log("ajax successful");
                                }

                          },

Hi @abhijitghate ,

I think the problem is because the data option for your input cell is being read at table initialisation, and not dynamically. If you make it a function, as in the sixth example on the ajax page, it will read the current value.

I hope that helps,
