Initializing Datatable in a Modal after page loads with server side ajax post data

richb78uk

Hi,
Just wondering if there is something obvious I'm missing. I've used datatables all over with ajax data server side processing etc, and I've got a modal opening and then calling initialising code for the datatable, however when I try to access the form data for server side paging in my controller (asp.net core) like so

var draw = Request.Form["draw"].FirstOrDefault();
var start = Request.Form["start"].FirstOrDefault();
var length = Request.Form["length"].FirstOrDefault();

(I've used this when using datatables not loaded in a modal) it says it can't evaluate Form until all threads have run and bombs out with any error message.

I assume its because it loaded after the page load, anyone got any ideas to solve this?

Thanks
Richard

Hi @richb78uk ,

I'm not familiar with asp.net, but could you set those variables in the table's initComplete function - that way the table will be initialised and the data loaded.

Cheers,

For some reason just adding a parameter to the controller method fixes and form variables are present
