Do you mean the Invalid JSON response error? The troubleshooting steps are found at the link in the error: https://www.datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/1 Let us know what you find. Kevin

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Although you probably SHOULD mention this "glitch" on your site!! the word "edit" appears because I was still logged in as "admin" AND in "edit mode." What is controlling "edit mode". Datatables doesn't have an "edit mode" by default. so I would say this is not a glitch caused by Datatables. figured that my hitting UPDATE ... and then viewing the page would show JUST WHAT a random visitor would see. NOT SO. What is "UPDATE" on your site. Again this isn't something Datatables will have by default. So again this is not a Datatables glitch. You have some custom code, it might be customized Datatables options or otherwise, that is doing or not doing what you want. Without seeing the problem its impossible to say what is happening. As Tangerine mentioned we will need to see a test case showing the issue to help debug. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

if there's 20 records in total pagination shows for 4 pages There should be only 2 pages if you have 10 records shown and 20 in total. What is recordsTotal being returned as? Can you link to a page showing the issue please? Allan

Thank you. It did the trick. Here is the complete solution for the benefit of the others: booksifno = ''; function loadBooks (url){ $.ajax({ url: url, type: "GET" }).done(function (result) { table2 .clear().draw(); table2 .rows.add(result.data).draw(); table2 .columns.adjust(); booksinfo = " of " + result.records; table2 .responsive.recalc(); }); } table2 = $("#table2").DataTable({ "infoCallback": function( settings, start, end, max, total, pre ) { return "Showing " + total + booksinfo; }, });

Do you mean how to do you call draw()? It's simply that: table.draw(); in your button's event handler. Allan

The dom option is a Datatables initialization option. It replaces what you have on line 4 of your first code snippet. This might be in site.js if that is where the Datatables init code resides. Kevin

I solved the issue. thanks @allan :smile:

There are loads of other threads on this topic. For example: 1 2 The other threads have more details, but basically the default pdfmake font file doesn't include the full set of UTF8 characters. You need a font file that does include the characters you want. Allan
