My suggestion would be to use client side processing unless you have thousands of records that cause performance issues. deferRender can help with page rendering speed but if the full set of data is slow with the ajax response then you will need Server Side Processing. This page discusses the parameters sent to the server and the expected responses when using Server Side Processing. Your Django scripts will need to handle searching and sorting. Kevin

Thanks @colin, I've figure it out, thanks.

The documentation I linked to describes the API that DataTables uses for server-side processing. Basically you have to have the server expect that set of data, and then respond with the JSON parameters that DataTables expects. If it isn't possible to do that with your API you would need a proxy somewhere to translate between them. Allan

Not really a DataTables problem. Your browser inspector will show you this border: 1px solid #ddd; in bootstrap.min.css. Unticking the box makes the problem go away; but I don't know what other effects this may have.

thanks @colin :#

Thanks Allan for responding.. I already found away and yeap thus includes the comments you've suggested too.. Cheers, ZyrowCool

Hi @shivaselvadurai , We just took a look at this and unfortunately you are probably going to need something as complicated as you had originally. If you insert something like '<"toolbar">' into the dom property where you want your custom element, you should be able to manipulate it there. Cheers, Colin

Hi Aditya14, There's some built in classes that do help reduce space - see this page. compact is reduced between the elements, and the row spacing is also reduced. You could take that as a starting point and modify to suit your needs. Cheers, Colin

I've just committed the fix for this and it will be in the next release of DataTables. Thanks for letting us know about it! Allan

My guess is that since you are looking for $_POST variables, you haven't set the ajax.type option to be POST (the default is GET). Example available here. Allan
