    hi Allan,
    Have you any idea solution to this issue?

    I might if you could link to a test case showing the issue as I requested above. A test case will let me debug it. At the moment, there isn't much information to go on! That is why the forum rules require a test case.

    I will upload the code to some server, and will let you know.

    hi Allan,

    Sorry, I am unable to upload my code to some server to show you. Let me upload the file to this forum.

    My php file is attached. I am using codeigniter.

    If you have no data, the colspan will cause a problem. DataTables doesn't currently allow for colspan in a table.

    That's the only thing that looks wrong to me from the code. The error you are seeing is normally due to a difference between the number of columns defined in Javascript (which you aren't using), the header, footer and the body. They all need to match.

    Thanks Allan,

    I removed the <colspan>, but no luck.

    The list not created for tfoot in footer.

    Could you do a "View source" on the page and then copy and paste the generated HTML for the table into a reply here so I can see what the server is generating please?

    Actually - thinking about it more, I don't think that is going to let me resolve this. I really would need to be able to see the page so I can debug it directly.

    Perhaps you can use JSFiddle or http://live.datatables.net with your generated HTML to produce a test case.

    Thanks,
    Allan
