jQuery DataTables插件

Question

JQuery noob here ...

I have a Question regarding the DataTables Plugin.DataTables link.

The Plugin claims that:

A common use case for this is when you are displaying live information which could be periodically updated

Being a newbie, I cannot figure out how to initialize the Table using Ajax, so that the table updates itself dynamically if the server information is changed. ( That is when new information is added in the server, the change is displayed on the table real time)

P.S: I am using PHP as the server side script.

Answer 1

This cannot happen automatically .. you will have to poll the server for changes .. either you or the plugin ..

You could utilize the fnReloadAjax method.. but you will have to manually (or though a time interval) call it ..
