Datatable - Ajax examples stuck on "loading"

Raug

Hi everyone !

I'm pretty new to DataTable but in the last two weeks i've been able to implement it on our website at work and it works great.
However, loading up to 6k+ rows tends to be very slow and i'd like to use server side processing and the ajax loader.

Problem is the table in every ajax example such as simple/custom_flat/etc... stays stuck on loading.
The only difference i can find between my local examples and the online working ones is that the file arrays.txt is not loaded (in the chrome debugger network panel)
I've checked and checked again the path to that file but not only does it never loads but even with a false path there is no resulting 404 error.

I've tried downlaoding dataTable again and just double clicking the examples in the ajax folder as soon as the dl is done but i'm still facing the same issue.

Can anyone share some light on this issue. In the meantime i'll keep checking for other ways to speed things up.

Best regards,

Raug

I randomly tested the examples on FF and then IE and surprise surprise !
It works perfectly, there seems to be a part of the html file that doesn't work with the latest version of chrome.

Will keep digging,

edit : kept digging and found this :
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40787&q=ajax%20local&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Pri%20Area%20Feature%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Owner%20Mstone%20OS

So i've tried getting the txt file directly from the datatable server :

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#example').dataTable( {

   "ajax": "https://www.datatables.net/examples/ajax/data/arrays.txt",

} );

} );

Now i can see the arrays.txt file in the debugger and when i click on it i can see the data correctly but still no display.

Anyone know how to fix this ?
