Ah... I had set an inline style on the tables, but it was getting destroyed on the second call and replaced with the attribute "style='width: 100px'". Putting the style in a stylesheet and marking !important clears it up. Thanks!

Nevermind. This was because the selector name for the table is wrong.

Hey allan, Ye, its 26. I understand what i need to do now, thanks. The processing of the rows needs to be done on initialization when using serverSide and ajaxSource and not just when filtering, sorting etc.

Should I modify some details in source code?

Solved. Silly mistake, need to make sure the plug-in is defined before table initialization (duh).

http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks#fnServerData - as shown you can construct your own Ajax call to the server. So all you need to do is add an if cndition in there to say that if it's the first draw just give the callback method an empty data set. Otherwise, do the Ajax call to the server. Allan

So I now have the second table showing and it works fine. However, once I create the second table, the first table's controls (sorting, paging, searching, etc.) stop functioning.

Thanks for your comments. I have solved my initialization problem--through FireBug reports, I found that I had th tags in the tbody, which I didn't know was a problem until FireBug told me it was.

Try removing the '0' in the fnClearTable call. That may stop the table redrawing. I just checked the documentation and saw this error in there, which has now been corrected :-) Allan
