javascript error when using aoColumns

snarf2larf

I'm using datatables with bootstrap and when I try to add any settings through aoColumns I receive the error in Chrome "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'charCodeAt'".

This only pops up when I add settings to aoColumns, if I remove them everything functions normally.

[code]
"aoColumns": [
{ "bVisible": 0 }, /* ID column */
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null
],
[/code]

I'm using the latest version of datatables 1.9.4. Here is the debug output: http://debug.datatables.net/usuded

The error is on line 3879 in function _fnStringToCss called by _fnCalculateColumnWidths called by _fnInitialise

[code]
var c = s.charCodeAt( s.length-1 );
[/code]

Any ideas?

Hi,

Are you using jQuery UI and if so, what are you using? We've found in the past that some older versions of jQuery UI can do slightly odd things with the width calculation (it alters the jQuery sizing code in some manner), resulting in an error just like this.

I'm using 1.8.21. I see removing it resolves the issue so I'll try using an updated version.

Thanks!
