table.ajax.url,reload table with ajax.url().load not working

function status_changed()

{

var value = document.getElementById("campaign_status").value;

var table = $('#example').DataTable();

var url = "../json/json.get_campaigns.php?filter=" + value;

table.ajax.url(url).load();

}

$(document).ready(function()

{

var table = $('#example').DataTable( {

"fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {

$.ajax( {

"dataType": 'json',

"type": "POST",

"url": sSource,

"data": aoData,

"success": fnCallback

} );

},

"sAjaxSource": "../json/json.get_campaigns.php?filter=Active",

...}

What I am basically trying to do is update the contents of a table based on the selected value in a combo box. I am trying to get it to reissue the json call with the new supplied url, but I can see in the chrome debugger that ajax.url(url) is not actually requesting the new URL, it is requesting the one thats defined in sAjaxSource.

Am I doing this the right way?
