Question

I’m trying to use jquery datatable in my application. I managed to get it to work perfectly fine with server data updates

The javascript used to create the table looks like this

jQuery(function() {
    return $('#example').dataTable({
      sPaginationType: "full_numbers",
      bProcessing: true,
      bServerSide: true,
      bRetrieve: true
    });
}).call(this);

The problem is I need to add a hook in the javascript to enable me to update another page element after the table data updated from the server

The fnDrawCallback is the callback for you:

"fnDrawCallback" : function(oSettings) {
    // Update the element
}
