See if this Nested data source example helps. Assuming you are using ajax.dataSrc I think you will want to set it like this: "ajax": { "url": "myUrl", "dataSrc": "viewentry.entrydata" } Kevin

If this mapping comes from the server maybe you can make a separate object returned in the data with the mapping values. You can then use that JSON data, assuming you are using ajax, to build the select options. Kevin

Since you are using ajax to load the data,

can a) do the ajax call and the update

no response from Ajax request it show blank

row data in the ajax response. See the Client/server

fetches the contacts via ajax when the parent row

fetch_data(); function fetch_data(){ $(document).ready(function() { $('#customer_table').DataTable({ "processing" : true, "serverside" : true, "ajax" : { url: "connect.php", type: "POST", data: {action: 'fetch'}, error: function(xhr, error, thrown) { console.log("AJAX error:", error, thrown); }, }, "columns": [ { data: 'FIRSTNAME' }, { data: 'LASTNAME' }, { data: 'NIC' } ], }); }); } please help

pagingType option gives me 'Next' and 'Previous' but these buttons are not actionable meaning nothing happens on-clicking the buttons. How can I trigger ajax call for next page using these buttons similar to what we do with the numbered paging.

I need preInit because I want to set those values before ajax start and call server for filtering. @allan where do I find that displayStart? apiSettings.displayStart seems undefined...
