Allan this is our table structure:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="table table-striped table-bordered" id="datatableAddressManagement" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 20px;">
    <thead>
        <tr role="row" style="font-weight: bold;">
        
            <th class="sortFalse"></th>
            <th class="defaultSort asc"><strong><spring:message
                        code="label.addressLine" /> </strong></th>

            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.city" />
            </strong></th>
            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.state" />
            </strong></th>
            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.zipcode" />
            </strong></th>

            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.status" />
            </strong></th>
            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.room" />
            </strong></th>
            <th><strong><spring:message code="label.floor" />
            </strong></th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
</table>

And using below method we are preparing the datatable(below ajaxDataTable method implementation we kept in common js file in our application):

 oTable= ajaxDataTable(true,'/addressManagement/',permissions,data,'','datatableAddressManagement','','',loadFromlocalStorage);

Thanks for the code. However, to be able to offer any kind of assistance I would need a link to the page where the HTML has been generated so I can see what is happening and why.

If you have JAWS installed, you could try the DataTables base example and see if that works for you (it should!). If so, then compare that to your own code.

Thanks Allan i tried DataTables base example with JAWS 13.0 version it is reading the header and pagination information only , it is not reading table body content .

allan

Hmm - odd. Thanks for letting me know about that. I will look into it and post back here when I can.

Thanks Allan data-table jaws reading problem solved I upgraded my data-table version with Data-Tables 1.10.7 now it is working very fine . Thank you very much I referred Data-Tables base example then i compared my code with that and came to know that it is because of data-table version problem.

Ah! That is good to hear. I haven't realised you weren't already using the latest version.
