Uncaught Unable to find row identifier

halam

I read through the discussions for this issue and I have spent over a day and unable to get it right.
I am new to this so highly likely I am not doing this correctly.

I don't see anywhere in my code that sets the row id. I copied the example from

https://editor.datatables.net/examples/simple/simple.html

along with the php script.

Does anyone know how to check what the row id is? or how to troubleshoot this issue?

Here you are:

Thanks @rf1234. I tried that already but that gives me the value of row id. I assume that if I don't set a row id then by default it will use DT_rowID but since I got the error. I am trying to figure out what I need to put for idSrc:

If you click on the Ajax Load tab you will see that the Ajax response is using the default DT_RowId for the data. You don't have to use this you just need a unique field for each row of data.

Do you have a unique field in your table rows? If so the, as the technote states set the idSrc to that field.

hi Kevin:

I did not set table row id. so I didn't expect to have to set idSrc. The only reason I am looking for that is because of the error I got. From reading the notes online (like the ones you and rf1234 sent me) I still cannot by pass this error. With this said the create, edit and delete buttons are not working for me.

The ID is needed to identify the row being created, edited or deleted. As the the other posts have said, your Ajax response needs to include a unique ID for each row.
