Search

to search the existing table, potentially with complex SQL

td').eq($(this).index()).text(); $(this).html(''); }); // DataTable var table = $('#JdtLeads').DataTable(); // Apply the search

Ah but the thing is no table is actually destroyed, its simply detached from the page using jquery's detach method. No need to fret about it, I've redesigned my implementation.

Allan, may have answered my own question, it looks like I need to do a .draw() after updating the table.

To check that I used the network list of the developer tools (google) but the request tab is empty, the table in the page is also empty. I am moving my server to another machine to make my page accessible.

I figured out what I was missing. I needed to use columns.data like so: var table = $('#summary').DataTable({ "columns": [ {'data': 'device_name'}, {'data': 'sensor_name'}, {'data': 'sensor_value'} ] });

Nope. I am able to sort the table once from 10 entries to 25 entries. But anything else I try to do I get the "processing" message. How to troubleshoot issues like this?

an id to the table (if you haven't already),

true); $(thisCartQTY).prop('disabled', true); } }); } ); var table = $('#example').DataTable( { "fnInitComplete": function(oSettings, json)

You can load the table and init it as
