  You'd use a bit of Ajax: https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

  Thank you Allan,
  
  as a Newbe, I would prefer to keep everythin so simple as possible...
  
  Is there a easy way, I could use the variable sData in the body of the document?
  
  Joseph
  
  [code]$('#form').submit( function() {
  var sData = oTable.$('input').serialize();
  alert( "The following data would have been submitted to the server: \n\n"+sData );
  return false;
  } );
  ...
  
  <?php echo "sData=".sData."
  ";
  ...
  [/code]

  If you want to use the elements as part of the submit you have two options:
  
  1. Move the input elements into the document (use fnGetNodes to get all row nodes from the table)
  
  2. Copy the elements and put them into the document with their values set to match the original.

  Hi Allan,

  I tried with the ajax to submit post the data. Finally it works, but it is just glued together. The code originally comes from the example "form.html".

  Thank you for your help.

  $(document).ready(function() {
      $('#form').submit( function() {
          var sData = oTable.$('input').serialize();
  
          //ajax insert start
          //ajax submit; success output?
          $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "selection.php",
            data: sData,
            success: function() {
              "data submit ok"
            }
          });
          //ajax insert end
  
          alert( "The following data would have been submitted to the server: \n\n"+sData );
          return false;
      } );
      
      oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
  } );
