When loading data from an Ajax source, you can use the following two events to handle the "Loading..." and "Done" states.

... data table code ...

    }).on('preXhr.dt', function ( e, settings, data ) {

        $(".thealert").html("Loading");

    }).on( 'draw.dt', function () {

        $(".thealert").html("Done");

    }); 

I hope that helps.
