Hi asa,

Could you drop me a mail using http://datatables.net and I'll send you my development version of DataTables in which I have hopefully fixed this issue. If it's not fixed, would you be able to post a link or send me some of the data which is breaking it for you?

Hi asa,

Could it be an old cached version of TableTools causing the problem? Try clearing your cache and seeing if that helps... ctrl + f5 I think forces a reload of everything on IE and Firefox (Windows).

Hi there,

just a quick question on this topic. is there not a setting on tis plugin that requires the extra files to be in a certain directory? I only ask because I have used this plugin and i remember that i had to edit a line oc actuall code to get it to find the swf file correctly. this may be your problem. take a quick look at how TableTools is being initialized and you might find that you need to change a line to reference the correct locations.

Not sure if this will help,

izzy6150: i know what you mean i already change the path in the tabletool.js as following
"sSwfPath": "dataTables-1.5/extras/TableTools/media/swf/ZeroClipboard.swf"
and its work great at home but at work it save the xls file but without any data


allan:thanx alot but it didn't work

allan

Very odd indeed. Are your home and work computers both running Flash 10? I've not got any reason why it would work from one location, but not another other than cache or the plug-in version. Have you tried a third computer to see what that does?

asa

yes both running flash 10 ,, see i can save the file from your tabletools example
http://datatables.net/1.5-beta/extras/TableTools/
on my work pc which mean i already have the flash 10 and i even check the adds on in the explorer and its flash 10 enable so the flash is not the problem
but can you tell where in the code i can check if the data goes to the file or not , to see is it pickups the data to the file or not ...
thanx

allan

Hi asa,

Sure - if you look in the function fnFeatureSaveXLS() you'll see an event handler for 'mouseDown' which calls fnGetDataTablesData(). That's the function which gets the data - so you'll want to check the return from that.

Hi again ....
i figure out what was the problem , the different in my home and work was the data
at work the data contain ;, so the some code lines in tabletool.js will not work
this line :
[code]sData += _DTSettings.aoData[ _DTSettings.aiDisplay[j] ]._aData[ i ].replace(/\n/g," ").replace( /<.*?>/g, "" ) +sSeperator;
[/code]

Hi asa,

Ah - very interesting. Did I not send over a latest development version of TableTools to you? This line of code doesn't exist in the very latest dev version - although there might still be an issue. Could you possibly post an example of some data which works, and some which doesn't?

Thanks,
Allan
