Awesome plug-in Allan. Thanks for the hard work here. Just want to add a little note here regarding processing message, even if this tread is a bit old. This may help other in the future. I have found that we can put html code in the sProcessing string. With Firebug just check the css format to overwrite what is not necessary and store your html processing message in oLanguage table. Here is my example [code]"sProcessing": " "[/code] ajax-loader.gif is my waiting message aka company logo + progress bar and myWaitingMessage is a css definition to put the image at the correct place. and it works...

Allan, I'm sorry for asking so much of you - your tool is truly wonderful, unfortunately, I am just a designer and no programmer, so I am needing more than most in getting this to work to my needs. Please look at the example in the link (under the LMH tab) and see the issues I am having, such as the spacing and the other Datatables not working properly like the first one is. Thank you in advance. http://michael.benefitharbor.com/dev/Employer/JqueryScrollingTabs.htm

Ended up fixing this a different way.

Hi Allan. What am I looking for in Firebug specifically?

Hi John, To remove the "Processing..." display, just remove, or set to false the bProcessing in your init object. Allan

Great thank you very much! I really think that the examples on fnRender reference should be updated ;) Regards, Jimmy Rivera

Change "sSortDataType" for your "orderstatus" to "sType". Its a bit confusing I know, but sSortDataType is not actually what you where here. If that doesn't solve it, could you run your table through the DataTables debugger ( http://debug.datatables.net ) and let me know what the debug code is. Allan

Sorry! Problem solved, I was using an older version of datatables that did not allow for an array of objects to be passed as its datasource

Here is my JSON. This leaves the table stuck at "Processing. {"sEcho":0,"iTotalRecords":"0","iTotalDisplayRecords":"0","aaData":[]}. If I modify it to this: {"sEcho":0,"iTotalRecords":"0","iTotalDisplayRecords":"0","aaData":[{}]} The table columns are defined using mDataProp: fieldName, so the table is expecting objects, so it will try to parse the empty list of objects, complains that it couldn't find one of the named columns, then adds an empty row.

Gotcha. So just to clarify, themeroller does none of the styling of the data rows on this page? http://datatables.net/styling/themes/smoothness Thanks!
