Jquery DataTable(table tool) button,how to fire the click event with the button on another toolbar?

Question

I am using CSV button in data table using table tools plugin.with this code only-

var table=$('#srvc_data_table').dataTable( {
        "data": dataSet,
        "columns": table_headings,
        "dom": 'T<"clear"><"H"lfr>t<"F"ip>',
        "tableTools": {     
        "sSwfPath": "../swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",        
        },
        });

button is declared in tableTools.js(tabletools plug-in file) as below ->

TableTools.BUTTONS = {
    "csv": $.extend( {}, TableTools.buttonBase, {
        "sAction": "flash_save",
        "sButtonClass": "DTTT_button_csv",
        "sButtonText": "CSV",
        "sFieldBoundary": '"',
        "sFieldSeperator": ",",
        "fnClick": function( nButton, oConfig, flash ) {
            this.fnSetText( flash, this.fnGetTableData(oConfig) );
        }
    } ),

CSV button is getting added on data table. But I dont want to place this button on table itself.I want this button on another toolbar. I want to detach the button from table or fire its click event from another button on different toolbar.Is it possible to fire fnClick event from another button.

Try using the direct initialization method. You can then utilize the fnContainer() API method to insert your csv button into your document.

ie $( tableTools.fnContainer() ).insertAfter('div.info')
