title: Checkboxes only work on first page - Datatables, rails
body: <p><strong>Senario</strong>: So basically I'm using DataTables and have checkboxes on its first column. My DataTables have multiple pages (pagination).</p>
  
  <p><strong>The Problem:</strong> When I check a few boxes on a page (could be any page), AND also check a few on OTHER pages. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The results only gets saved if I am on the current page</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm quite new to datatables/javascript and can't really figure out how to solve this issue.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#formDataTable').DataTable({
           responsive: true,
           autoWidth: true,
           "bFilter": true,
           "bRetrieve": true,
           "bInfo": true,
           "sPageFirst": false,
           "sPageLast": false,
  });
  </code></pre>
