jQuery datatable with FancyBox and auto refresh - Shaun McCran

Recently I've had a few questions about how to use the datatables plugin to display data, and also integrate a pop up or lightbox function. The pop up would have an edit form in it, and when the user completes the edit the light box goes away and the datatable refreshes.
This is relatively straightforward to do, but there are several key concepts to getting everything working correctly, so I've broken it down into a few chunks.
