a.aoColumns[c] is undefined

bidon2

Hi, i'm setting up DataTables for the first time.
I included it in the bottom of my page using:
[code]


$(document).ready(function(){
$('#tSorted').dataTable();
});
[/code]

My table can be viewed here: http://tinkerbin.com/McMIio6P

I get an error saying a.aoColumns[c] is undefined ?
Please help me, thanks for reading. :)

Greetings

There are more columns in the tbody (7) than there are in the header (6).

Hi allan,

http://debug.datatables.net/irumak


here you can see debug info... If am using only 6 TD s that works fine but not works for more than 6 TDs

Please help me

allan

Right enough, you are using only 6 TDs, but you are also using aoColumns which defines six columns. If you change the number of columns in the HTML, you must also change aoColumns .

Please ... where can i change "aoColumns" ? where its defines ?

bibin71554

Is "aoColumns" hardcoded some where?

allan

Its in your initialisation code wherever that is. You mention you are using a template, so I guess it is in the template.

i just initialize the code but right now its works but am getting this following JS alert message :(

"DataTables warning (table id = 'dt_gal'): Cannot reinitialise DataTable.

DataTable really good , thanks for your job

allan

Not sure how much I can help here - don't initialise DataTables twice, like the warning message is telling you. Why are you trying to initialise it twice?

bibin71554

Allen Its solved .... now everything works fine !! i just removed alert message from datatableJS :)

allan

It is there for a reason, but okay...

bibin71554

Hi Allan,

I'v got a similar problem: Firefox: FireBug: "TypeError: a.aoColumns[c] is undefined".

In the thead I've got one th with colspan="2". If I add no tbody, I get no errors. But if there is a tbody with some td's, I get the error...

Thank you.

There must be at least one unique header cell for each column. Otherwise sorting can't be applied to individual columns.

Pity :(
So if you have one or more column(s) that will not be sorted, you've got a problem...
