How can I change the text "No data available in table"

redsunset

Hi all!

I try to change the text "No data available in table".
I tried:
$(".dataTables_empty").text("There are currently no xyz available for this.");

and

$(".dataTables_empty").html("There are currently no xyz available for this.");

but no success

best greetings and thank you in advance!

Hi @redsunset ,

What you're doing would work if the table is in the DOM (see here). If you're getting it from Ajax (or even in the DOM), it's better to use language.emptyTable to change the message - see here.

Cheers,
