Avoiding append tr in tbody in a empty table

Héctor Capulin

I have an empty table which is filled with actions of the user but at the begining is empty and is important for the validations that tbody stays empty, when I initialize the table with DataTable, the library append an empty <tr> in the tbody with odd class, how to avoid this behavior, and not to append this row?

It shouldn't be an empty tr, it should have a td in it with text saying "No records found" or similar.

If you don't want that empty row at all, you could remove it with a drawCallback function: http://live.datatables.net/ketetohe/1/edit .
