Cool, glad its all working now! Kevin

Link to test case: Debugger code (debug.datatables.net): Error messages shown: Description of problem: I've done a search for this problem, but the problem is that all the examples show the columns already defined. In my case, a completely different table can be returned, depending on the click event. By different table, I mean a completely different set of columns and rows. Do any examples exist for the dynamic creation of an _entire _table using DataTables, not just filling the rows? Here is the relevant jQuery function that I'm trying to hook up with the empty table. function populateDetail(coordinates) { $.ajax({ url: url4, type: "POST", data: { Campus: $("#Campus").val(), Coordinates: coordinates }, dataType: "json", success: function (data) { $("#DetailTable").empty(); // populate table from returned "data" which is returned as a Json object. } }); }

You can use any field type in the inline display (some are better suited for it than others!). So while Editor doesn't have a type ahead search input built in, you could consider using something like Select2, for which there is an integration plug-in for Editor. Allan

The UUID, name and checkbox are all editable values of the JSON object and you want to be able to edit that JSON object, treating that as a single field value? Assuming that to be the case, you'd need a custom field plug-in that would take that data, display it to the end user, allow it to be edited and return the edited value. There is an example of a custom field plug-in here. What you want is quite possible, it would just need some code to be written to do it. Allan

initComplete is a configuration option. Out it in the options to you pass to $('#myaccount').DataTable(...). More generally these two are the same: $('#myTable').DataTable({...}); // and new DataTable('#myTable', {...}); They do exactly the same thing, just slightly different styles. I'm going to write more about it in the documentation soon :) Allan

anyone help me? My createdCell function like below: import

Sounds like you have an HTML sourced table and there is a delay between loading the HTML table and Datatables initialization that causes format changes. If this is the case then see this thread for a few examples of hiding the HTML table then in initComplete displaying the table. Make sure to use columns.adjust() after displaying the table. If this doesn't help then please provide a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug and offer more specific suggestions. Kevin

A more detailed explanation might be helpful.

Thanks a lot Colin !!

I just checked again, and it looks like you've done both of those things - there isn't a variety column, and the link is present. You can use orthogonal data to alter how it appears, both in the table and the export. This thread here demonstrates that, Colin
