Question about serverside draw parameter

kthorngren

I noticed that if the draw parameter is missing or set to 0 Datatables will draw the table. Its this code

        if ( draw ) {
            // Protect against out of sequence returns
            if ( draw*1 < settings.iDraw ) {
                return;
            }
            settings.iDraw = draw * 1;
        }

in _fnAjaxUpdateDraw that allows this. Just highlighting it in case that behavior is not intentional.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks - its a bit of legacy support that. The draw parameter is optional (in fact, I only added it when our unit tests were failing because of out of sequence returns from the server).

That said, it should really be checking for draw being undefined rather than falsy. I've just committed that change. Thanks for highlighting this!
