Get the data of table to a jquery variable

Question

I have a table and data in the table i have stored to jquery variable, but i have applied pagination to the table, so only current values of table are getting stored to variable, and the next page entries of table are not, the code is as below, how to get all values in the table to be stored to a jquery variable? can anyone help..?

$("#button3").click(function(){

    arr = new Array();
    $("td").each(function () {
        t = $(this).text();
        arr.push(t);
    });

    var pdf = new jsPDF();
    pdf.setFontSize(3);
    pdf.text(35, 25,arr);
    pdf.save('message.pdf');
});

How are you paging the table? Is it a library? Is it handled client-side or server-side? — pete, Jul 05 '13 at 11:08
If you are using some serverside pagination, you cannot get all the data. If you can get the all data, no point of using pagination — Chamika Sandamal, Jul 05 '13 at 11:09

You can use a temporary counter variable and push the code if limit is up to that.

$("#button3").click(function(){
    var limit = 10;
    var count = 0;
    arr = new Array();
    $("td").each(function () {
        t = $(this).text();
        if(count <= limit){
        arr.push(t);
        count ++;
       }
    });

    var pdf = new jsPDF();
    pdf.setFontSize(3);
    pdf.text(35, 25,arr);
    pdf.save('message.pdf');
});

This is a little ambiguous. Are you using the pagination by any plugin or from the server side? – Nabeel Arshad Jul 05 '13 at 11:35
im using a js code for pagination, its stored in my directory with datatables.js and in my code m calling my table on it as shown on datatables.net – user1386654 Jul 05 '13 at 11:48
