ajax and jQueryUI

orange

Hi all,

On my local environment, I can get the jQuery UI working with the included example but this doesn't work:
[code]

$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON( 'json.txt', null, function(json) {
$('#example').dataTable( json, {
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
});
});
});

[/code]

The table displays, sorts, and paginates the data wonderfully; it just won't accept the parameters.

Neither "bJQueryUI" or "sPaginationType" work so I'm thinking that none of the parameters will work. Is there a better way to write this?


thank you.

There is no second argument that can be passed to DataTables - which is why this doesn't work. There is only one argument which is recognised in the dataTable() function.

Possibly this thread might be of interest to you: http://datatables.net/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=1314

Thanks Allan.

Is there a way to enable jqueryui to the above example in a different (correct) way? I don't think I have that part in the right place in the code.

I know I'm missing something fundamental here but I can't seem to find an example that spells it out for me.

Thank you so much for your time.

(The reference to the other post was how I got it working; now, I just need to pass jqueryui the table.)

I assume you have a 2D data array available in the json reply?

[code]

$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON( 'json.txt', null, function(json) {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
"aaData": json.aaData
});
});
});

[/code]
Or something like that...

If you are doing that, then you could just use sAjaxSource: http://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/ajax.html . Depends if you want to do any extra processing on the JSON return.
