  You can use the iDisplayStart initialisation parameter. You'd line a line or two of Javascript to get the parameter you want from the URI, but then when you've got it, just pass it into DataTables.

  This sounds what i would like to do, have url parameter to indicate the current page, but how do i get the parameter into the url in the first place?
  
  Is it possible to update the url after each ajax request to reflect the current page, without full page reload, which would defeat the point of ajax?

  I decided to put it in a cookie and it might be overcomplicated but here's what I did (excuse any typos, i'm copying from an intranet):
  
  [code]
  **my table id is "openTable"
  
  var displayLength = $.cookie("cookieName_dLen") == null ? 20 : $.cookie("cookieName_dLen") ;
  var displayStart = $.cookie("cookieName_dStart") == null ? 0 : $.cookie("cookieName_dStart") ;
  
  $("#openTable").ready(function(){
  $("openTable").dataTable({
  "iDisplayLength": displayLength,
  "iDisplayStart": displayStart
  ....etc.....
  });
  
  $("paginate_button").live("click", function(event) {
  var theLen = $("select[name='openTable_length']").val();
  var thePage = ($(this).text()*1-1) * theLen;
  $.cookie("cookieName_dStart", thePage, {expires:90});
  return false;
  });
  $("select[name='openTable_length']").change(function(){
  $.cookie("cookieName_dLen", $("select[name='openTable_length']").valu(), {expires:90});
  });
  [/code]
