Datatables 1.9 - content vanishing in IE

rkv90

Using Datatables with Filter for our application which displays search result when a customer is searched from a large database [> 6 million rows].
IE issue :
When searched with email address the search result is displayed - in the datatable.
[In this case the search result has Only One Row always]

However when searched with other 3 parameters, the result is displayed for about 2 seconds when the page is on load, then Vanishes once the page is loaded.

[Eg. hundreds of result rows]

'No data available in table' is displayed

Tried the following:
.dataTables_wrapper td
{
overflow: hidden;
z-index: -1;
}

Still the problem persists.

Is this a bug triggered in IE by dataTables or this has something to do with styling for IE?
Any ideas please ? And this is very Urgent :[

Allan, Thanks.Terms does not allow me to provide the URL for the test case. However I used my .isml and jquery at JS Bin. Also got a saved template efakub.2.html
But wonder how to host this somewhere to make it viewable.

Also, is there an option to paste screenshots here please? Thanks. :)

Please view : http://live.datatables.net/efakub/6/edit
in the table, [now there is no data since data is not queried actually]

This table, shows data in Chromeand FF, but says ' No data available in data table' in IE

Though it shows data on load for 2 seconds

Please help.

Allan can you please check the above link and throw some light?

rkv90

in demo_table.css we got this :
.dataTables_wrapper {
position: relative;
clear: both;
zoom: 1; /* Feeling sorry for IE */

So is there a way IE can get rid of this problem? This is critical please

rkv90

or how can we avoid calling jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#ccsearchresults").dataTable();
});
when we detect that the browser is IE...?

rkv90

ok ! so here we go : if!(jquery.browser.msie) we call our dataTable()
and bingo the data is all displayed in IE !
so we gotta find another way to paginate at IE :)
Is there any specific pagination available for IE?
Thanks.

For me to be able to offer any help, you need to give me a test case showing the problem in IE. It looks to me like what you have at the moment:

[code]
$('#ccsearchresults').dataTable();
[/code]

should work just fine if your generated HTML is valid.
