DataTables and Search Engine Friendly URLs

DataTables and Search Engine Friendly URLs

We run a community site and have numerous discussion forums. We are doing a site redesign and am incorporating DataTables using server side processing to display the master list of discussion topics. I want to utilize Search Engine Friendly URLs for each main discussion category but when I try the table does not load and just hangs at "Loading data from server". My example is not on a public server but I will use an online example of DataTables I found to show:

This example works:
http://www.mccran.co.uk/examples/datatable/index.cfm

This example does not:
http://www.mccran.co.uk/examples/datatable/index.cfm/Search-Engine-Friendly-URL/

I thought it may have been just on my end but the example above also has the same issue. I have been searching documentation but can not figure out why it does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    In the "does not work" example you linked to above there are a number of Javascript errors reported by my web-browser - so perhaps not too surpassing that it's not working quite as planned. In the case of the linked site that is due to relative paths being used, and the fact that you are instructing the browser to look at a different path with your appended URL.

    So, I'd suggest having a look at Firebug (or similar) and seeing if there are any script errors reported.
