$('#dataTable1').datatable({

var oTable = $('#data_table').dataTable();

Server-side processing and client-side processing are explained here: http://datatables.net/usage/#data_sources .

$('#dataTable1').datatable({

So I managed to find a solution. I went into the dataTables file and sort of copied some of the code. Here's what I ended up doing.

var oTable = $("#dataSet").dataTable({

on it: http://datatables.net/development/sorting#data_source

$('#dataTable').dataTable( {

oTable = $('#datatable').dataTable( {

bServerSide true / false are significantly different in what they expect from the server - which is it that you want? : http://datatables.net/usage/#data_sources

$('#dataTable').dataTable({

oTable = $("#datalist").dataTable({

oTable = $("#datalist").dataTable({

Both suggestions (global variable and the cleaner $.fn.dataTableInstances) are great solutions. However, they only work AFTER the table has been initialized since the call to $('#datatable').dataTable

Have a read through the Data Sources section on this page: http://datatables.net/usage/#data_sources

where in the code. http://datatables.net/usage/#data_sources

var oTable = $('#data').dataTable( {
