JSON DataTables part x
Ok so moving along. Now I want to pass the datatable parameters dynamically by allowing the user to choose which series, which age group and which gender. I removed the code from that while we were getting it up-n-running. Now I want to put it back in.
My "old" process was to submit to the same page and re-populate the entire thing. I assume that is not how ajax works. If so I need to know how to pass parameters to the embedded asp page.
Thanks!

So If I currently have selects of the parameters to choose from (series, age groups, and gender) how do I press that into an ajax format. The gender and age groups are static but the series are dynamically generated.
Thanks so much for this. In the interim I will go back over all that you folks have posted.

Currently I am passing the parameters to results_array.asp using query strings. I get that I need to add those parameters to the ajax call but how do I get them into the asp variables? Currently I do this:
lSeriesID = Request.QueryString("series_id")
iYear = Request.QueryString("year")
sGender = Request.QueryString("gender")
iAgeTo = Request.QueryString("age_to")

This is helpful. I believe the years need to be via a link/asp query string because different years have different series. The standings page is not a landing page per se but once there you should be able to toggle between series, age groups, and gender. Changing a year sets everything back to the defaults.
Having said all of that, what I am seeing is that I need to create a form with series, age group, and gender drop-downs. Since the page is not a landing page per se, the series will be initially selected via a query string on the "main" page. The defaults for the others will be "Open" and "Male."
I will start working on this. Please let me know if you see anything wrong with my reasoning. I will re-post as needed.

Better instruction doesn't happen in many schools...
glad you've made some progress! how did you finalize your process (just curious)?

No got sidetracked with my server migration. still need to do two things:
1) pass gender, age, and series id to the datatable page in classic asp
2) turn the individual's names into clickable links that will show the individual's race-by-race data.
This wasn't the one that I thought I closed. Oh, well I will create a new post soon. FYI, the page in question is here and it is possible that some of what I need has been posted above by you or padas.

Those clickable links you want can be created on the fly by jquery. That way you don't have to create them in your json which is cumbersome.
I will try and get back to this in about 5hrs.
