'targets': 0,
'checkboxes': {

}
}
],
'select': {

},
'order': [[1, 'asc']]
});
// Handle form submission event
$('#frm-example').on('submit', function(e){
var form = this;
var rows_selected = table.column(0).checkboxes.selected();
// Iterate over all selected checkboxes
$.each(rows_selected, function(index, rowId){
// Create a hidden element
$(form).append(
$('<input>')
.attr('type', 'hidden')
.attr('name', 'id[]')
.val(rowId)
);
});
