2b6788011f New: ajax parameter to control all aspects of Ajax that DataTables uses
- DataTables 1.9 had 5 different parameters that controlled how Ajax
  data was obtained, which with its own naming properties, often mapping
  to the jQuery.ajax methods, or otherwise extending them. To hugely
  simply and extend the Ajax functionality DataTables has, these five
  parameters have now been deprecated and the funtionality provided by
  them merged into the new `ajax` parameter.

- Deprecated properties:
   - sAjaxSource
   - fnServerData
   - sAjaxDataProp
   - sServerMethod
   - fnServerParams

- Note that these parameters are still fully supported and can be used,
  but for new projects, `ajax` should be used as they will eventually be
  removed (likely DataTables v2 whenever that is, as they are too widely
  used to be removed in v1.x).

- Added additional / missing tests for the deprecated properties to
  ensure full backwards compatiblity

- The new `ajax` property is fully documented in the doc comments, but
  as a summary it can take three forms:
   - string - the url to get the data from (i.e. this is the new
     sAjaxSource)
   - object - maps directly to jQuery.ajax, allowing full control of the
     Ajax call (provides the abilities of fnServerParams, sServerMethod,
     sAjaxDataProp)
   - function - a function so you can get the data your own way
     (provides the abilities of fnServerData)

- Added unit tests for the new `ajax` property and doc comment examples
  updated to use this property exclusively.

cb014e81d7 New: Add unit tests for fnCreatedCell and fnCreatedRow
New: New init option fnCreatedRow - very similar to fnCreatedCell but in this case used for TR elements
Updated: fnCreatedCell now also gets the column index passed in

dae243eb7a Fix: fnRender unit tests need to be updated for the change to the second argument being passed 2011-12-27 13:54:22 +00:00

7d2d62d519 Update unit tests to take account of the change to the pagination elements now being A tags, rather than SPANs/DIVs. Good that the change broke the unit tests since it is backwards incompatible 2011-12-06 16:18:50 +00:00

6610ec24b8 Unit tests were using asStripClasses which was an old legacy typo... It should be asStripeClasses and I've removed the alias in 1.9, thus the unit tests need to be updated. 2011-12-04 18:11:36 +00:00

2c8868dd53 Update version number to 1.8.0.dev.2 for beta 2 development work
Fix: Call fnRender only once when using using bUseRendered (don't need to call it twice since our internal data cache already has the rendered value stored) sin
ce this can cause some confusion with re-writing the data source value - 4871

144bd6e178 Dev update: Change the name of the custom data property for Ajax sourced data 2011-04-27 22:05:00 +01:00

dbc8046e6b New: Creation of TR/TD elements when using an Ajax or JS source for the table can be defered until draw time, when the rows are actually needed now - 4739. This is enabled by setting bDeferRender to true at initialisation time. It provides major benefits for speed in IE when dealing with large tables. However do note that if you are using fnGetNodes() with this enabled, then you will only get nodes which have been rendered.
New: Unit tests for delayed rendering. Now up to 2500+ unit tests :-)

2d0aff2b39 New: The ability to customise the property that is read when obtaining Ajax information from the server, for the data to insert into the table. The new initailisation parameter is sAjaxDataProp. It can be used with Ajax sourced data or server-side processing. When Ajax sourced data is used, it can be an empty string in which case it is assumed that an array has been passed into DataTables directly. Note also that it uses the same object data processor as mDataSource, so you can use dot notation to read from nested information (e.g. 'my.data'). 2011-04-21 18:37:36 +01:00

f172ef5383 New: Significant change to how data is handled by DataTables. DataTables now has the ability to deal with complex objects as data sourced, which is particularly useful for dealing with Ajax data, and other data which doesn't belong in the visible table (db IDs for example). See the examples/ajax/ files that are in this commit for examples on how this works. More unit tests and further tidy up to come. Detailed examples will also be added in future - the current examples are mainly for testing 2011-04-19 19:35:33 +01:00

2c4def9353 Fixed: fnInitComplete was being called too early for server-side processing. It is now called after the first draw is complete, like the other data sources. 2010-09-07 21:37:56 +01:00

25148e4fec Fixed: The second parameter for fnServerData was being passed as null when used without server-side processing. It makes much more sense to pass an empty array - 2553 2010-08-20 18:07:34 +01:00
