datatables current page

what would be the syntax to get the current page one is on?
for example say your datatables are showing 5 pages and you are on page 3 - how do i get page 3 as a var?
AND when I navigate away from the datatables webpage - how would I load page 3 on my return to the datatables webpage?

Somthing like this:

<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;
    alert (pathname);
    $('body').append('<a href ="'+pathname+'">alink</a> ')
});
        </script>
    </head>
    <body></body>
</html>

no - i'm talking about the datatables "page" as in pagination
only the datatables area changes for next and prev links - the entire page does not reload

i cant test this right now but thought i'd reply
if this saves the "page" to a cookie and then loads that same page when you come back - if navigating away - what about the filter?
does it populate the filter box and apply it as well?

thanks

Looks like it stores filter as well
