how do i wait for the new ajax data from the server before calling the function to generate dropdown

gwiqu

im following the code similar to this to implement the column filtering to be dynamic but with select2
http://live.datatables.net/cusologu/7/edit
but for some reason when the columns gets refreshed, the data is using the previous search data

how do i wait for the new search results to come back before calling the createDropdown(api) function?

gwiqu

alright i figured it out

do not call
createDropdowns(api);

in the on change function but change the
initComplete: function()

to drawCallback: function()
