  By overloading, do you mean you've added extra parameters to the method, or simply that you are calling it with a source / callback set?
  
  Typically the easiest way to work with multiple DataTables is to simply give each of them an ID and use that reference:
  
  [code]
  $('#table1').dataTable().fnReloadAjax();
  $('#table2').dataTable().fnReloadAjax( 'myNewSrc' );
  [/code]

  Well, to clarify my mean; I have the following code for fnReloadAjax() function:
  [code]
  $.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnReloadAjax = function ( oSettings, sNewSource ) {
  if ( typeof sNewSource != 'undefined' )
  oSettings.sAjaxSource = sNewSource;
  console.log($(this));
  
  this.fnClearTable( this );
  
  this.oApi._fnProcessingDisplay( oSettings, true );
  var that = this;
  var myData = new Array({ "name": "name", "value": reports.root.find('#name').val()}, { "name": "family", "value": reports.root.find('#family').val()}, { "name": "national_id", "value": reports.root.find('#national_id').val()}, { "name": "city", "value": reports.root.find('#city').val()}, { "name": "job", "value": reports.root.find('#job').val()}, { "name": "date_from", "value": reports.root.find('#date_from').val()}, { "name": "date_to", "value": reports.root.find('#date_to').val()}, { "name": "age_from", "value": reports.root.find('#age_from').val()}, { "name": "age_to", "value": reports.root.find('#age_to').val()}, { "name": "credit_from", "value": reports.root.find('#credit_from').val()}, { "name": "credit_to", "value": reports.root.find('#credit_to').val()});
  $.ajax({
  url: oSettings.sAjaxSource,
  dataType: 'json',
  data: myData,
  type: "POST",
  success: function(json) {
  /* Got the data - add it to the table */
  for ( var i=0 ; i

  Do you mean you want multiple different fnReloadAjax methods? The one above for one table, and another for other tables? API methods are shared between tables - if you want different methods, just give them different names - fnReloadAjax2 for example.
