How to load jquery Datatables into div with ajax call

Question

I need to load whole table into div with $.ajax, but after that, Datatables won't work. Can i do something about it?

Answer 1

Probably, the liveQuery plugin could help in that case.

Live Query utilizes the power of jQuery selectors by binding events or firing callbacks for matched elements auto-magically, even after the page has been loaded and the DOM updated.

Answer 2

$(function(){
  $.get("script.php",function(data){
    $.each(data.items, function(i,item){
      $("#anydiv").prepend(item.element);          
    });
  })
})

In script.php read array of database results into array and :

echo json_encode($results_array);
