I have pagination on my table. I want go back back to the first page whenever a function is called. How can I do that?

Answer 1

from the docs: http://datatables.net/ref#fnPageChange

$(document).ready(function() {
  var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
  oTable.fnPageChange( 'first' );
} );

Answer 2

var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
oTable.fnPageChange( 'first' );

OR

oTable.fnPageChange( 0 );
