Display Loading Message

OrangeJuice

Hi
I'm attempting to display a default loading message but unable to do so. The code loads records using Ajax. My code is as:

//In loop.

$('#myDash').dataTable().fnAddData( [ oProj,oTitle ] );

//Later code

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myDash').dataTable( {    
    paging: false,
    searching: false,
     "ajax": "json.txt",
     
  "language": {

     "loadingRecords": "Please wait - loading..."
        }
    } );
    
 } );

Now the loading message show but error alerted, 'Datatable warning:table id = Please see http://datatables.net/tn/7'
The Network Analysis show a 404 error but have no idea on how to fix. Its something to do with the json.txt ?
Is there another way to show Loading message?
Thanks

It looks like it basically cant see json.txt, you should really use the absolute path

And format your code, please..

Hi

I used the following example, but there is no mention what json.txt is. I haven't installed this file anywhere, what needs to be done ? is it needed?

Lol.. json.txt is supposed to be the Path/URL to the JSON source... Read ajax.

I guess its not labeled that the ajax value in the example is the url to the JSON, because thats about as obvious as it can possibly get.

Hi
I don't think I need the json.txt section which I added for the loading message alone.

I am loading the array from a loop in an earlier process :

$('#myDash').dataTable().fnAddData( [ oProj,oTitle ] );

All I want to do is show a loading message, can I do this without the json.txt?
