Can't able to redraw Datatable

dharmeshpatel82

Hello,

I have a Datatable on page, and Also I put a link to reload this Datatable (User interaction is required to refresh Datatable, and for some reason I have to put refresh link outside of Datatable Division.) and this is a ServerSide Datatable.

On page load I got my Datatable loaded but when I clicked on refresh link It is not working.

My refresh link click event is :
[code]
$(document).on('click', '#refreshLinkId', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var tblId = $(this).attr("type") + "_wrapper";//getting Datatable ID
var table = $(tblId).dataTable();

table.fnDraw();


$('#refreshConfirmDialogId').data('tableInst', table );
$('#refreshConfirmDialogId').dialog("open");
});
[/code]

When I click the link I got this Warning :
[quote]
DataTables warning: Attempted to initialise DataTables on a node which is not a table: DIV
[/quote]

and got this error too when I try to call fnDraw or any other internal Method of DataTable instance(found through Firebug) :
[quote]
TypeError: a is null
[Break On This Error]

...Sort ? O(a, a.oPreviousSearch) : a.oFeatures.bFilter ? K(a, a.oPreviousSearch) :...
[/quote]

Does anybody knows, whats wrong with my code? Also I want to redraw my Datatable with extra server param on refresh link click which will be added to Ajax Request to get Modification in Database and return new Data, I do not know how can I do that?

Please let me know if there is a solution for this?

Thank you.

Beyond that, please link to a test case showing the issue.

Hello Allan,

Thank you for the note, It absolutely gave me a direction. I realize we can call initialized table anywhere in the page and unless it is destroyed.

My Stupid mistake was, I was selecting Table Div instead I should select Table. I just had to remove "_wrapper" from Table id, where "_wrapper is Table Div Id." :)

My apologies. Sometimes small mistake is there but I can't see. Very Stupid.

But your note confirms me that we can get instance of table anywhere within the reach. Thank you.
Now I just need to figure out how to add extra param to server request before re-draw table.

Thank you very much Allan for your help. Really appreciated.
