title: Datatables on server side processing with jQuery
body: <p>I am new to datatables. I am trying to find solution for server side processing since last two days but didnt find the solution. </p>
  
  <p>My JS code is </p>
  
  <pre><code>this.$("#example").DataTable({
              "processing": true,
              "serverSide": true,
              "ajax": "../employees.json",
              "columns": [{
                  "data": "Name"
              }, {
                  "data": "Age"
              }, {
                  "data": "Country"
              }, {
                  "data": "Address"
              }, {
                  "data": "Married"
              }]
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Datatable renders JSON in table format. But sorting, pagination and search operation is not working. It shows all results on the first page no matter how much value I have selected from dropdown</p>
  
  <p>Also at bottom it shows message like "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries (filtered from NaN total entries)"</p>
  
  <p>If I pass serverSide: false. everything works fine. But I want server side processing of the same</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated</p>
