filtering oSettings is null error

bingunginter

help me
this is the code :

var oTable;
$(function() {
oTable = $('#ClassDataTable').dataTable({
"bPaginate": false,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": false,
"bSort": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumns": [
{ "sType": "html" },
{ "sType": "html" },
{ "sType": "html" },
{ "sType": "html" }
]
});
oTable.fnFilter('val');
});

why is when it reach the fnFilter line, it throws an error oSettings is null

Hi bingunginter,

You have:
"bFilter": false

But then expect filtering to work:
oTable.fnFilter('val');

You've disabled filtering - so filtering isn't going to work :-). If you want to enable filtering, but not have DataTables insert the input element, use the sDom parameter: http://datatables.net/usage/options#sDom
