I am brand new to DataTables but I seem to be falling at the first hurdle. I have a table in my HTML page that I wish to populate with some values using a function which generates a table for me in HTML DOM. By default the table is empty on the HTML page: <table id="tblResults"> </table> I run the function that gets the data that I want. I know the data is there as if I call: var updatedresults = document.getElementById("tblResults").outerHTML; console.log(updatedresults); I have checked the data output and this all looks fine. However when I then call: $('#tblResults').DataTable(); I get the following error: jquery.dataTables.min.js:90 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'mData' of undefined Please Help!! Many Thanks Dave

I'm currently tinkering with deferred loading. At the moment I'm outputting the first page of rows when the page loads, than the following get loaded using ajax, so far so good. Is it possible to output the first N table pages at page load? So that the table won't ask the server for data when loading a page which is < N. Is it possible?

So here is my question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36042224/using-jquery-datatables-js-1-10-11-the-table-doesnt-initially-show-additions-t

fnDrawCallBack is never invoked $("#testDT").DataTable({ . . "ajax": "someurl' "fnDrawCallBack" : function(settings) { . . } } I use ajax to load data, i do the same thing in one more place. Strangely it works for me from a different place. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Jquery datatable to generate a empty table that i need to plot shifts into from some ajax data. My headers contains dates which i need to compared to my ajax data objects to see if they are the same, then insert a shifts html element. Unfortunately i have only been able to grab the Settings object in the callback, but it is ill advised to use it and hope for it to last, so any other way of doing this would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance

Using server-side processing and set deferLoading to [0, 0]. When I call draw() on the DataTable, it does not update the data. I have to call search() then draw() or click to sort. Is this a bug or by design?

All is said in the title. I just initialized my dataTable and when I refresh my webpage I can't sort my data ? I am using gem installation, with javascript to initialize the dataTable

options do not appear initially ?

I need empty table initially and load table data

var table = $('#reports_table').dataTable({ "dom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip', "tableTools": { "sSwfPath": "@Url.Content("~/Content/img/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf")" } }); With this I lose Bootstrap styles. If I remove dom + tableTools Bootstrap is normally initialized. What am I missing?
