DataTables gives error when table is empty

peterchchu

Using Datatables 1.9.4 for a Rails 3.2.6 Application.

Datatable is great but there is one slight problem. I had noticed that whenever my table has no data, it will give out the following errors:

[quote]DataTables warning (table id = 'resource-index-listing-table'): Requested unknown parameter '1' from the data source for row 0[/quote].

Can someone please help.

Please provide a link to a page which shows this error so we can debug it, or run the table through the debugger.

Thanks Allan, can you please tell me how to run the table through the debugger?

Please let me know what is the reason for the alert?

You have a colspan in the table's tbody which is not supported by DataTables. That needs to be removed. Every column must have its own unique cell for each row (i.e. cells === rows * columns).

Hi you read the data from the some file using ajax request or read the data from the database as a result u just check the resp is empty or not by using (also trim the resp) .if its empty don;t pass to Datatable :)
