problem when init datatable using ajax to get server records with no records return

kevin liu

I'm using datatable 1.11.5 and initialize a datatable using ajax to get server records to display.
There is a case that no records in the table, and so I return the JSON of "{data:[]}", and the datatable show a warning of "Invalid JSON response" and the datatable{} is suspended.
it seems that datatable plugin can't distinguish no record and invalid record.
I will get the ajax manually and set the data if records returned, or nothing if none record is returned.

Can you show me a debug trace of the table when it gets no data loaded please? Or a link to the page.

Thanks,
Allan

It's OK now when I remove the data: setting in datatables({data: xx}), I check the data return is [] or not , and use diffrent datatables({}) with/without data setting in the init function.

So, If data is [] or null can check in the datatables({}) is more convinient for the user.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I still don't actually know what the issue is. If you were getting "Invalid JSON response" then the server was returning invalid JSON. Without a test case though, I can't say what that is.
