Jquery DataTables - Workaround to have a selectable list of options with dataTables and Pagination. When the form is submitted, the script inserts hidden inputs with the values of the checkboxes that are not visible, due to pagination.

jquery_datatable_checkboxes_with_pagination.js

function setupDatatableCheckboxesWithPagination(tableSelector, attributeName) {
  var dataTableObject = $(tableSelector).dataTable();
  form = $(tableSelector).closest("form");

  $(form).submit(function(){
    insertHiddenInputsWithCheckboxesValues(tableSelector, attributeName);
    dataTableObject.fnFilter('');
  });
};

function insertHiddenInputsWithCheckboxesValues(tableSelector, attributeName) {
  var dataTableObject = $(tableSelector).dataTable();
  $("input:checked", dataTableObject.fnGetNodes()).map(function(i, checkbox) {
    var hiddenInput = $('<input>').attr({
      type: 'hidden',
      name: attributeName,
      value: checkbox.value
    });

    $(tableSelector).append(hiddenInput);
  });
};

This can be adapted and used with any type of input fields. The list with checkboxes is the most common use.
