Codeigniter csrf protection error in Javascript form submit

Question

I am using CSRF protection in CodeIgniter 2.2.1

I want to form submit process when I click datatable. Therefore, I create form element in javascript in click event. When form submit process run I get "500 Internal Server Error".

Here is my code for datatable click event;

var form = $('<form></form>', {
                    id: "tdClickForm",
                    name: "tdClickForm",
                    method: 'post',
                    action: "<?= base_url(); ?>files/folderClick"
                });

                var cellInput = document.createElement("input");
                cellInput.setAttribute("name", "currentCell");
                cellInput.setAttribute("value", 1);;

                form.append(cellInput);
                form.appendTo('body').submit();

if you have enabled csrf protection you need to post hash and token pair also — charlietfl, Feb 24 '15 at 22:00

var csrf_test_name = document.createElement("input");
                csrf_test_name .setAttribute("type", "hidden");
                csrf_test_name .setAttribute("name", "csrf_test_name");
                csrf_test_name .setAttribute("id", "csrf_test_name");
                csrf_test_name .setAttribute("value", $.cookie('csrf_cookie_name'));

form.append(csrf_test_name);
form.appendTo('body').submit();

this solve the problem.
