Add property to DataTables,

cirora

Hi,
I want to init columns outside $().DataTable. How can I do it?
My code:

COLONNE='{data:"first_name"},{data:"last_name"}'
var  TABELLA = $('#example').DataTable( {

        dom: 'C<"clear">Tlfrtip',
        "columns":COLONNE
});

but it doesn't work.
I tried eval(COLONNE) and window[COLONNE] but nothing.
Help please

Hi,
maybe this way isn't right one.
Is it possible to retrieve
columns:[{data:values_1},{data:values_2}]
from the thead of the table???

The COLONNE variable is a string above, not a Javascript object. Remove quotes and it should work.

Thanks for the answer,
I have this Error:
Errore: TypeError: aoColumns[srcCol] is undefined
Path: /media/js/jquery.dataTables.js

I tried

COLONNE={"data":"first_name"},{"data":"last_name"};
COLONNE={"data":"first_name","data":"last_name"}
COLONNE={data:"first_name",data:"last_name"}

No one works. Other solutions?

COLONNE=[ {"data":"first_name"},{"data":"last_name"} ];

is what you want.

See the columns documentation and the examples in columns.data.
