            HI, I'm getting this error, "jquery.dataTables.min.js:48 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined".
I believe it is able to read the json data. If I remove the json data file from the server I get a 404 error. So it at least finds the file.find
Here's the log from Chrome:
jquery.dataTables.min.js:48 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
(anonymous function)          @         jquery.dataTables.min.js:48
i         @         jquery.dataTables.min.js:35
n.success @         jquery.dataTables.min.js:35
i         @         jquery.min.js:2
j.fireWith          @         jquery.min.js:2
y         @         jquery.min.js:4
c         @         jquery.min.js:4
Here's my json data
{"tradelist":[
    {"station":"KELO", "producer":"PAMS", "package":"14", "mediano":"R-34-02"},
    {"station":"KELO", "producer":"PAMS", "package":"Windy (WLS'76)", "mediano":"R149-006"},
    {"station":"KELO", "producer":"PAMS", "package":"Windy", "mediano":"R149C-006"},
    {"station":"KELO", "producer":"PAMS", "package":"14", "mediano":"R398-002"},
    {"station":"KELO", "producer":"PAMS", "package":"10", "mediano":"R413-004"}
]}
Here's the html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.11/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css">

By default DataTables will look for a property called
datain the returned Ajax object (manual). You can change that using theajax.dataSrcoption - in this case you would want to set it to betradelist.Since you are using objects for the data, you would also need to use
columns.datato tell DataTables which property belongs to each column - manual.Allan
That fixed it. I get it now. Thanks for your help.
