Datatables - Keeping selected page number after callback

I save the datatable state in the local storage to avoid passing the page number all over my app. This is how I do it:

$('#offersTable').dataTable({
        "bStateSave": true,
        "fnStateSave": function (oSettings, oData) {
            localStorage.setItem('offersDataTables', JSON.stringify(oData));
        },
        "fnStateLoad": function (oSettings) {
            return JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('offersDataTables'));
        }
    });

This is very useful when you go to another page and you want to go back (using the back button) to the last selected page.

In DataTables 1.10 you have an ability to stay on the same page after re-drawing if you pass false as a first parameter to the draw() function.

table.row(index).data(data).draw(false)
