DataTables.net programmatic refresh

Question

I am using DataTables (jQuery plugin) to display my tabular data. If fetches data using AJAX from a JSON web service.

How do I force it to refresh using JavaScript/jQuery? I am looking through the API and cannot find the right function.

Answer 1

While waiting for the answers, I finally found it: fnDraw function is what I needed.

It's described at the beginning of the API section, but I just didn't bother to read it all:

You must make the required calls to the server to manipulate your data as required, and then simply redraw the table (fnDraw) to view the new data.

Answer 2

Try calling:

$("#Table1").fnDestroy().dataTable();

That should rebuild it...
