Pagination works total displayed record you need to perform following minimum changes.

"iTotalDisplayRecord" will be total filtered records

Answer 2

This looks up your alley -> http://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/js_array.html It's purely client-side

Though, as far as I know, the only way to achieve actual pagination (making it faster because you're only fetching 15 records from the database at a time) is by ajax-ing with your server side (i.e. http://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/server_side.html)

It doesn't look to me like you're doing that. Unless... self.accountCollection.getData() is an ajax callback, but in any case when you instantiate the DataTable you should use "ajax: tableData" not "aaData: tableData".

You may be confusing the JSON that datatables returns, with the datatables API that you use to interact/initialize with the datatable.

Sorry, that was a bit much lol does any of that make sense?
