JQuery Datatables plugin example using a server side data request (coldfusion)

Im my previous article on how to use the JQuery datatables plug I concentrated mainly on the JQuery script, and how to build the AJAX request to receive a JSON response.

I have recently discovered an issue with some of the JavaScript code that I wrote in the event handling routine.
