Search

Maybe you need to use JSON.parse() to parse the JSON response into a Javascript object. Everything else looks ok in your code. It just needs debugged to verify the response is what you expect. You can use the browser's network inspector or debug the data variable in the success function. Or post a link to your page or a test case so we can help debug. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

Kevin, you are a lifesaver. thank-you for pointing me in the right direction!

As Kevin said, please provide a test case on the issue you want help with, Colin

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

thanks, brother you are correct and now I fix the problem with your answer thanks hundred times

Take a look at the examples in the columns.render docs. There are a couple that show rendering HTML elements. You would do something similar for the select list. If you still need help please provide more details of the data source for the select lists and what you want to do with them. A test case showing what you are trying to do will help us to understand exactly what you want to provide more specific help. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

The error references the following link which is the place to start with troubleshooting: https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/1 Let us know what you find. Kevin

Hi all, forget about my last post all sorted ! ;-)

As shown in the columns().search() examples, you need to add draw() to execute the search, for example: oTable2.columns(3).search(searchTerm,true,false ).draw(); Kevin

Duplicate of this thread - please only post once, Colin
