I've just committed the fix for this and it will be in the next release of DataTables. Thanks for letting us know about it! Allan

My guess is that since you are looking for $_POST variables, you haven't set the ajax.type option to be POST (the default is GET). Example available here. Allan

Thanks to both of you. Actually I ended using mix of your answers: Allan's statement in the initComplete, as I was looking for something I could easily include in the "table-creation code". Kevin, thanks for confirmeing my suspicion re. autofocus.

This error is generated by your server. Start by looking at the server's log to find the error. This is mentioned in the link provided in the error. Kevin

Hi, What you would need to do in this case is use stateSaveCallback to store the information into a custom localStorage parameter. This is how DataTables does it by default. You could basically use that and replace the path information. Regards, Allan

Happy to take a look at a test case showing the issue. A 2500 row table shouldn't be crashing the browser. Allan

Solved. <style> [type="search"] {width: 70%;} </style>

See updated AlphabetSearch plug-in that allows to use numerical filtering and adds row grouping, ordering and localization support. See more articles about jQuery DataTables on gyrocode.com.

Yes - the demo script on this site will use a LIKE statement with wildcards. As tangerine highlights, you'd need to modify whatever server-side script you are using since you are using server-side processing. Allan

As a guess, I bet you are encountering a javascript error so the script stops executing. Open up your console (f12) and try reloading your page and see if any errors show up. Also, look at the raw html that your php is creating after the page is loaded and see if it looks right.
