title: datatables plugin asynchronous load data
body: <p>I'm fairly new to datatables and I was wondering if there is a way to load asynchronously 
  the data into datatables plugin in such a manner that data is presented before the entire HTML table is created, like the following post describes:</p>

  <p>I actually need the table to be created as soon as there is enough data to render the table, and not wait to render all the table elements. My source for the datatables plugin is a pre-rendered HTML table. I found some samples on the net, but I couldn't make very much of them.</p>

  <p>I couldn't find the mentioned "scripts/server_processing.php" file (throws an "file not found exception"). Is this actually a script I have to write myself ? If so, could anyoneo please share a sample, since I am a total newbie to PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Any samples or relevat links appreciated. Thanks</p>
