  Never mind, I think I've figured it out. I can either pass parameters in the actual querystring (e.g. /api/staff?TestParam=100). This seems a bit messy.

  A second way is maybe using the data parameter for ajax. E.g. :

  $(document).ready(function() {
  editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
  ajax: {
  url: "/api/staff",
  data: { "TestParam": "100" }
  }, ...

  However "TestParam" is always null in the request for some reason, even though I can see that it's been posted ok in Firebug.

  Its easiest to use ajax.data as a function with Editor:

  ajax: {
    url: ...,
    data: function ( d ) {
      d.TestParam = 100;
    }
  }

  I only just fully registered this part:

  How are you trying to access it? $_POST['TestParam'] would be the way in PHP. Are you using PHP or .NET or something else?
