Using Datatables 1.9.4 for a Rails 3.2.6 Application.

Datatable is great but there is one slight problem. I had noticed that whenever my table has no data, it will give out the following errors:

[quote]DataTables warning (table id = 'resource-index-listing-table'): Requested unknown parameter '1' from the data source for row 0[/quote].

Can someone please help.

    Please provide a link to a page which shows this error so we can debug it, or run the table through the debugger.

    Please let me know what is the reason for the alert?

    You have a colspan in the table's tbody which is not supported by DataTables. That needs to be removed. Every column must have its own unique cell for each row (i.e. cells === rows * columns).

    Hi you read the data from the some file using ajax request or read the data from the database as a result u just check the resp is empty or not by using (also trim the resp) .if its empty don;t pass to Datatable :)
