How were you thinking of getting the HTML table from the remote page? Perhaps one option would be to load it into an iframe and them copy it across to your document, but that's certainly not something

$('#data_table').parent().dataTable().fnAddData( [

[code]$('#datatable').fnLengthChange();[/code]

oTable = $('#datatable').dataTable();[/code]

$('#dataTable1').dataTable({

$('#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
