Search

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

That is EXACTLY right! I just had to move it inside the get function. I am used to things being so much harder than they are in both JQuery and well designed plug-ins like yours. I find myself making things too hard on myself :-) Thanks! This is going to work great for what I need!

Use bServerSide :) Check at examples page.

okay, fixed it. Noticed the download is v2.0.1 but on your example page v2.0.2 is used. With that version it is solved.

Thanks Allan you're a superstar.

Ah, you are right, domingo. Although, I've added the the necessary tags and there is still no data displaying.

You're the best!

RESOLVED. I've got it now. By placing this: [code] $(function(){ $("#joblist").dataTable({ "bLengthChange": false, "bPaginate": false, "bFilter": false, "bInfo": false, "sDom": 'Tlfrtip' }); }); [/code] in the specific page being loaded (within the head section), and leaving the rest of my jquery code in the js file under the document.ready statement, then the joblist datatable is only initialised when the page loads, rather than with the document.ready event which is re-triggered by Ajax calls. Thank you all for helping me to get there! A pot of "hunny" for you all. BasilBear.
