Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'i18n' of null

oliver wong

first, i use the tail version editor.

when i selected one row, and click "edit" button, no response but the js error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'i18n' of null".

can anyone help me?

btw, i just copy the example of "Simple inline editing", https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/simple.html.

and the first column can't visible.

and the first column can't visible.

Have you included FontAwesome and the CSS shown in the "CSS" tab just below the table in that example, on your page?

when i selected one row, and click "edit" button, no response but the js error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'i18n' of null".

Can you link to the page showing the issue please, so I can debug it? My best guess at the moment is that TableTools might be getting loaded after Editor. It should be that TableTools is loaded before Editor.

yes, i had the same issue... after loooong searching i found a 'trigger' to this

it seems this error is related to the var name for declaring the editor.

    editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({

changing 'editor' to a different var will cause the error.

no idea how to set it to a diff. var name yet, without running into this error again

ah yes! found it:

in the declaration of the datatable itself, define the actual var-name for the editor

tableTools: {
            sRowSelect: 'os',
            aButtons: [
                {sExtends: "editor_create", editor: **your editor varname**},
                {sExtends: "editor_edit", editor:**your editor varname**},
                {sExtends: "editor_remove", editor: **your editor varname**}
            ]
        },
