how can I trigger jquery datatables fnServerData to update a table via AJAX when I click a button?

Question

I\'m using the datatables plugin with server-side data and am updating the table using AJAX.

My dataTables setup looks like this:

tblOrders = parame

I know this is late to the game, but fnDraw (from this answer above - which should be the accepted answer), is deprecated as of v1.10

The new method is:

this.api( true ).draw( true );

Which, BTW, has a comment that reads:

// Note that this isn't an exact match to the old call to _fnDraw - it takes
// into account the new data, but can hold position.
