  Good to hear you got a fix. For anyone else interested, the documentation for this method is here: ajax.reload().

  Hi,

  I'm trying this datatable.ajax.reload() function. But I tried several different ways, can't get it working. In the firebug console, I can see the http GET successfully get the data back from the server every 5 secs. However, in the web page, the data table doesn't re-draw. Just showing a msg saying "Processing...". Any idea what I did wrong?

  Thank you very much!

  I found the problem. It's on the server side. My bad. I always give a "draw: 1" in the server response. After I remove "draw" parameter, everything is fine.

  Thank you very much for the great data table lib!!
