No change in table when Sorting and Searching

clint

I have an ajax call that returns data and fills the datatable nicely. But when I click on a column or try to search, nothing changes in the table. I can see that the sEcho is increasing.

Here is the debug info - http://debug.datatables.net/unedod. It is the #ajaxTable that is giving me issues. The second datatable in that debug info is the example and it works fine (although this data is static html.)

Any help or hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had to delete that debugger instance. I would still appreciate any idea on why something would not sort. It will sort if the data is static, but not dynamic. It actually doesn't page either. What could I possibly be missing?

I figured it out. I set bServerSide = "true". I realized that this requires me to do the sorting and paging on the server, not on the client.
