Having problem adding column to index.php page

mrwoofus

Trying to put together a server-side page for our department at work.

Got the thing going, except for one thing.

I've got the first 9 columns of the db set up but when I add another <th>Column</th> to the index page, it quits. I get the popup for "DataTables warning: table id=tbl-contact - Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/7"

The server script page works fine, just chokes when I add the last column to the index page.

Any ideas what I'm missing here? I'm sure it's something simple. I need to add more columns, other than that it's working great!

Its hard to say without seeing the problem. Did you follow the troubleshooting steps in the link?

Likely you will need to troubleshoot the server script to find the problem.

On the "server.php" page I have this:

$columns = array(
array( 'db' => 'Prod_Cat_1', 'dt' => 0 ),
array( 'db' => 'Prod_Cat_2', 'dt' => 1 ),
array( 'db' => 'Vendor', 'dt' => 2 ),
array( 'db' => 'Device', 'dt' => 3 ),
array( 'db' => 'DOA', 'dt' => 4 ),
array( 'db' => 'name', 'dt' => 5 ),
array( 'db' => 'age', 'dt' => 6 ),
array( 'db' => 'email', 'dt' => 7 ),
array( 'db' => 'Alt4', 'dt' => 8,),
array( 'db' => 'Alt5','dt' => 9,
)

);

And it works... with this on the index.php file:

        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Prodcat 1</th>
                <th>Prodcat 2</th>
                <th>Manufacturer</th>
                <th>Device</th>
                <th>DOA</th>
        <th>Alt Name 1</th>
        <th>Alt Name 2</th>
        <th>Alt Name 3</th>
       <th>Alt Name 4</th>

            </tr>
        </thead>

    </table>

But when I try and add the last <th>Alt Name 5</th> it quits.

What did you find with the troubleshooting steps provided in the technote?

Your code snippets aren't enough to troubleshoot the problem. can you post a link to your page so we can take a look?

Thanks for looking.... unfortunately I can't post a link because it's on a work server behind a firewall.

Just can't figure out why the last column won't display and gives me a "404 Not found" error when it's in the Array with the rest of them. And I don't get an error on the server.php file, just on the index.php file when I try to add another column.

Makes no sense... maybe it's time for a dinner break?

The 404 not found is coming from the server. You will need to look at your server logs to find out why its providing that resposne.
