Cannot read property 'cell' of undefined

Hello Allan,
We seem to be getting this error when DataTables is trying to render the header in _fnDrawHead in this section:
[code]
while ( typeof aoLocal[i+iRowspan] != 'undefined' &&
aoLocal[i][j].cell == aoLocal[i+iRowspan][j].cell )
{
aApplied[i+iRowspan][j] = 1;
iRowspan++;
}
[/code]
The aoLocal[i+iRowspan][j] object is coming up as undefined.

Any high level ideas on what might be going wrong? if not, i'll try to create some sample code to recreate the issue.
Thanks,
Nilesh

    At a rough guess I'd say that the rowspans, colspans, cells and rows don't add up in your header. If you could show us you THEAD HTML that would be useful.

    The THEAD is pretty ugly, but here it is - most of this works for most clients, but it's causing an issue in this case. Only the very first column header "Departs" shows up, and then it gets the error:

    Allan,
    Okay, after a series of steps amounting to "reductio ad absurdum", i found out that the issue is caused because of a element stuck inside a element.
    Is there any way for you to confirm that that's a no-no?
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    Hi Nilesh,

    Thanks for the extra information and debugging that - that most certainly should be possible to do and I'm considering that a bug in DataTables. Indeed, I've just committed a fix for it :-). You can get the very latest version (the 1.8.2.dev nightly) from the downloads page: http://datatables.net/download , with this fix in it.

    Let me know how you get on with it!

    Regards,
    Allan

    wow, that was fast :) i'll let you know how it goes with the fix, but i'm sure it will work.
    Really appreciate the effort.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    "bProcessing": true,
    "sAjaxSource": wsGetData,
    "aoColumns": [
    { "mDataProp": "FundId" },

    { "bSearchable": false, "bVisible": false, "aTargets": [0] },
    { "bVisible": false, "aTargets": [1] }
    ]
    });
    });

    I already download the 1.8.3.dev version and the problem persist.

    Can you help me please?

    I fixed!

    change the following:
    [code]
    while (typeof aoLocal[i + iRowspan] != 'undefined' &&
    aoLocal[i][j].cell == aoLocal[i+iRowspan][j].cell )
    {
    aApplied[i+iRowspan][j] = 1;
    iRowspan++;
    }
    [/code]

    for this:

    [code]
    while (typeof aoLocal[i + iRowspan] != 'undefined' &&
    typeof aoLocal[i + iRowspan][j] != 'undefined' &&
    aoLocal[i][j].cell == aoLocal[i+iRowspan][j].cell )
    {
    aApplied[i+iRowspan][j] = 1;
    iRowspan++;
    }
    [/code]

    ,

    I am stuck with the same problem. I have following Table:

    [code]


    Ticker
    Short Name
    Sector
    Country
    1
    2




    0005.HK
    HSBC
    Banking
    Hong Kong
    Edit
    View More


    0386.HK
    SINOPEC
    Banking
    Hong Kong
    Edit
    View More


    [/code]

    I am using the following javascript to apply the DataTables for the table
    [code]$('#stockTable').dataTables();[/code]

    It shows only the first column name and rest of the headers are missing from the table. Any clue? I am use DataTables 1.9.1

    Maqsood Ahmed
