< p > By default, the Ajax request that DataTables makes to obtain server-side processing data is an HTTP GET request. However, there are times when you might wish to
use POST. This is very easily done by using the < code > type< / code > option of the < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax" > < code class = "option" title =
2015-07-15 18:10:59 +02:00

< p > When given as an object, the < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > ajax< / code > < / a >
option maps directly onto the < a href = "http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/" > jQuery ajax< / a > options (i.e. any option that can be used in jQuery's Ajax function can
also be used in DataTable's < a href = "//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax" > < code class = "option" title = "DataTables initialisation option" > ajax< / code > < / a >
option).< / p >
