TableTools New Initialization Method - Buttons no longer work

lurking

I have had TableTools running for several months and noticed that the PDF, Excel, CSV buttons no longer work. The page in question is: http://www.runtahoe.com/table_display/eventschedule1.php

I notice that the example page works correctly (of course): http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extensions/TableTools/examples/new_init.html

However, a previous jsbin help example does not work: http://live.datatables.net/eZoc/1/edit

In both the case of my page and the non-working jsbin the buttons state "movie not loaded" when right-clicked. I recognize that in the old method of initialization the SWF file had to be properly linked, but it doesn't appear to need to be listed at all with the new initialization method...?

I assume something changed but despite extensive testing have not been able to solve the issue. Any ideas or assistance is very much appreciated... thank you.

What makes you say that? Yes the SWF path still needs to be specified if it is not int he default location.

http://runtahoe.server272.com/jquery/dataTables/extensions/TableTools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf

Is the address that your SWF is trying to load from. That address is doing a 302 redirect to www.server272.com which is returning a 200 Okay Error page (!?).

I'm having the same problem. Has anybody got the answer to this?

Thanks for the link. The problem is that the table is hidden when it is created.

What to do is use the fnResizeButtons() method when the table is made visible.

The accordion Javascript library you are using will probably have a show event or similar that will let you know when that is.
