ie8 & datatables.net

Hi I recieve this error msg from ie8 "Line: 6690 Error: 'null' is null or not an object", which lead me to the return statement.

/* Array or flat object mapping */
return function (data) {
return data[mSource];
};

I'm using "jquery.dataTables.js" not the compressed version and the following code is from my web application.

var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"bDestroy":true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bProcessing": true,
"bJQueryUI": false,
"bFilter": false,
"iDisplayLength": "5",
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"sAjaxSource": "asp_arrays.asp?JId="+$('#txt_JourneyId').val(),
"fnDrawCallback": function () {
$("#txt_NoAPEntries").val(this.fnSettings().fnRecordsTotal());
}
} );
}

I also seem to get the same msg from jquery-1.5.1.min.js (line 16 character 13158)

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Rob

That's an interesting one :-). Could you possibly show us some of the JSON reply from the Ajax request, as I suspect it is an interaction there that is causing the error.

Thanks,

Hi Allan,
I hadn't been back to see if there was a response. Thank you for the quick response to my initial post. Your spot on in your comment.... it was the ajax reply or in my case the lack thereof, as initially I have no data to populate the table.

The below resolved the issue for me.

{ "aaData": [] }

Great stuff - good to hear it is working now :-)
