Datatables - fnGetNodes() how to push the results

Question

I've been struggling with with datatables and what to do with fnGetNodes to correctly push the data back into the form on submit.

I've got the jquery working correctly. I can see the selected values as described in the documentation. My question is how do I take that sData and shove that back to the server in the POST??

I know it must be simple but I am clearly too focused on the tree to see the forest.. I'd appreciate any help on this!!

<script style="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#form').submit( function() {
            var sData = $('input', oTable.fnGetNodes()).serialize();
            alert( "The following data would have been submitted to the server: \n\n"+sData );
            return false;
        });

        oTable = $('#data_table').dataTable();
    });
</script>

My HTML form looks like this (Shortened for clarity)

<table id="data_table">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Select</th>
                    <th>Question</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tr id=0><td><label for="id_questions_0"><input type="checkbox" name="questions" value="103" id="id_questions_0" /></label></td><td>D1. Example of a multiple choice question</td></tr>
<tr id=1><td><label for="id_questions_1"><input type="checkbox" name="questions" value="104" id="id_questions_1" /></label></td><td>E1. Example of a multiple choice question</td></tr>
<tr id=2><td><label for="id_questions_2"><input type="checkbox" name="questions" value="105" id="id_questions_2" /></label></td><td>G. Example of a multiple choice question</td></tr>
<tr id=3><td><label for="id_questions_3"><input type="checkbox" name="questions" value="106" id="id_questions_3" /></label></td><td>H. Example of a multiple choice question</td></tr>

Edit

The alert is showing me this. questions=103&questions=104&questions=105&questions=106&questions=100&questions=101&questions=102

And the POST (Using the developer tools( is showing me this.

csrfmiddlewaretoken:a2c3ed6e1bfee9fce0b7412553aa2080
name:Phase-1 Pre-Drywall
priority:1
description:Pre-Drywall inspection items
use_for_confirmed_rating:on
use_for_sampling:on
data_table_length:10
questions:103
questions:104
questions:105
questions:106
submit:Submit

So somehow I need to transform the former into the later using jquery Can someone help me with this.

Thanks

The answer turned out (as expected) to be very simple.

        var oTable = $('#data_table').dataTable();
        // This will collect all of the nodes which were checked and make sure they get
        // pushed back.
        $('#form').submit(function () {
            $("input[name='question']").remove();  //Remove the old values
            $("input:checked", oTable.fnGetNodes()).each(function(){
                $('<input type="checkbox" name="questions" ' + 'value="' +
                  $(this).val() + '" type="hidden" checked="checked" />')
                    .css("display", "none")
                    .appendTo('#form');
            });
        });
