DataTables example - POST data

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 type option of the ajax initialisation option.

When given as an object, the ajax option maps directly onto the jQuery ajax options (i.e. any option that can be used in jQuery's Ajax function can also be used in DataTable's ajax option).

The example below shows ajax being used with the type option set to 'POST' to make a POST request rather than GET.
