27 DataTables server-side processing example
31 <p>There are many ways to get your data into DataTables, and if you are working with seriously large databases, you might want to consider using the server-side options that DataTables provides. Basically all of the paging, filtering, sorting etc that DataTables does can be handed off to a server (or any other data source - Google Gears or Adobe Air for example!) and DataTables is just an events and display module.</p>
32 <p>The example here shows a very simple display of the CSS data (used in all my other examples), but in this instance coming from the server on each draw. Filtering, multi-column sorting etc all work as you would expect.</p>
36 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example">
39 <th width="20%">Rendering engine</th>
40 <th width="25%">Browser</th>
41 <th width="25%">Platform(s)</th>
42 <th width="15%">Engine version</th>
43 <th width="15%">CSS grade</th>
48 <td colspan="5" class="dataTables_empty">Loading data from server</td>
53 <th>Rendering engine</th>
56 <th>Engine version</th>
