Server-Side-Processing works fine for Firefox, but not IE?

Hi there,

i've got a problem which I still was'nt able to solve after some hours of trial & error ;-)

I've used your ssp-script to dynamically fetch data from my database and inject it into the DataTable. With Firefox, everything works perfect and exactly how it should be. With Internet Explorer 8 though, as soon as I try to initialize the table, an alert winodw pops up with the message "Warning - Added data does not match known column length". After that, it says "no results found".

It seems like an error to tell me that the JSON-Data has more columns than the table... but that's not the case.
Paradoxically, if I add another column to my HTML-Table, Firefox shows me the same error-message and IE shows nothing anymore (no message, but no data either).

Does someone figure out whats the problem is? :(

Thanks in advance,
Regards
Bernd

Well...as with most programming problems:
As soon as you desperately cry for help, you find the solution yourself! ;-))

The data in the returned JSON-feed was not properly escaped. It was ok for firefox though, but IE didn't like it.

Hi Tsun4mi,

Good to hear you got it sorted. It was most likely a trailing comma, which IE rejects, but for some reason Firefox allows. www.jsonlint.com is an outstanding tool for testing JSON validity.

don't hate me but I found the solution one second after I looked at me code

heres my solution

[code]
$sOutput .= "[";
$sOutput .= "'".$aRow['status']."',";
$sOutput .= "'".$aRow['style']."',";
$sOutput .= "'".$aRow['style']." NO Comma Necessary On the last bit of output!!!! '";
$sOutput .= "],";
}

[/code]

I put a comma
