  Hi @dynasoft ,

  Yep,

      url: '/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/' + intCdrFrmtSrc1.toString() + '/' + intCdrFrmtTpe1.toString() + '/' + strCdrFrmtNme1,
  

  will only use the values as they were when the table was initialised, effectively making them constants.

  If you make ajax.url a function, it will get the current values, something like:

      url: function() { return '/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/' + intCdrFrmtSrc1.toString() + '/' + intCdrFrmtTpe1.toString() + '/' + strCdrFrmtNme1},
  

  Cheers,

  Colin

  Hi

  Is this how this should be used:

  Replace:

      function CRUDCDRDataAndFiles1() {
  
          editor1 = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
  
              destroy: true,
              ajax: { //works
                  url: '/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/' + intCdrFrmtSrc1.toString() + '/' + intCdrFrmtTpe1.toString() + '/' + strCdrFrmtNme1,
              },
              table: ...,
              fields: [ ...]
          });
      }
  

  with:

      function CRUDCDRDataAndFiles1() {
  
          editor1 = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
  
              destroy: true,
              ajax: { //works
                  url: function() { return '/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/' + intCdrFrmtSrc1.toString() + '/' + intCdrFrmtTpe1.toString() + '/' + strCdrFrmtNme1},
              },
              table: ...,
              fields: [ ...]
          });
      }
  

  CRUDCDRDataAndFiles1 is called at and after initialisation.

  But I'm getting error Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:6301/CDRData/function()%20%7B%20return%20'/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/'%20+%20intCdrFrmtSrc1.toString()%20+%20'/'%20+%20intCdrFrmtTpe1.toString()%20+%20'/'%20+%20strCdrFrmtNme1%7D

  If you want to change the URL after initialisation you have to use ajax.url() to set the value.

  jQuery doesn't allow ajax.url to be a function. Colin was thinking of ajax which can be a function, but it sounds like you just want to change the URL, so ajax.url() is how to do it.

  Apologies for that, @dynasoft, I did think it could be a function. Note, you use ajax() to change Editor's URL.

  Cheers,

  Hi

  I had another issue and came up with a solution that fixes this as well:

              ajax: {
                  url: '/CDRData/CRUDCDRDataAndFiles/',
                  data: function ( d ) {
                      return $.extend( {}, d, {
                          intCdrFrmtSrc: intCdrFrmtSrc1,
                          intCdrFrmtTpe: intCdrFrmtTpe1,
                          strCdrFrmtNme: strCdrFrmtNme1
                      } );
                  },
                  type: 'POST',
                  async: true,
                  cache: false
              },
  

  Thank you for the help provided.
