index.jsp
[code]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">






$(document).ready(function() {

$('#example').dataTable( {
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "server.jsp",
"sAjaxDataProp": "data",
"sServerMethod": "POST"
} );
} );






engine
browser
platform
version
grade



Loading data from server

    Can you run your table through the DataTables debugger please?

    The Data Table debugger output:

    debug code: oyonog (view)
  • devilpanksdevilpanks Posts: 5Questions: 0Answers: 0
    allan, in firefox web console, it shows aData is undefined. Is this a reason?
  • allanallan Posts: 63,498Questions: 1Answers: 10,470 Site admin
    Yes - your JSON returned is not valid :-).

    You've got a comment at the top of the return from the server:

    [code]
    /*
    * Script: DataTables server-side script for Java Sever Pages
    * Copyright: 2010 - Wang Chao
    * License: GPL v2 or BSD (3-point)
    */
    [/code]

    comments aren't valid in JSON and thus DataTables correctly gives you the warning. You need to remove the comment from the return.
