Blank table in IE 7

dumkat

I am getting a blank table in IE 7 even though the table code is in the source code.

I think you are going to have to give us a bit more than that :-). This zero config example works fine for me in IE7: http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html

I figured it out. You can't use a class selector in IE 7

i had
$('.data_table').dataTable();

that doesn't work

$('#data_table').dataTable();

does work.

You should be able to use class selectors in IE: http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/multiple_tables.html .

But you can call it twice - or you would be re-initialising the same table. ie.

[code]
// one table in DOM - then:
$('.data_table').dataTable();

// add another table - then:
$('.data_table').dataTable();
// init will fail since trying to re-init first table
[/code]

This is what i use to be able to use multiple datatables in most browsers. In IE7 it fails. I change selector to ID and it works. haven't tested on multiple tables on one page. class selector fails with just one table in IE7 too.
[code]
var datatable_checks=new Array();

function addDataTable(){

$('.data_table').each(function(){
check_name=$(this).attr('id');

if(!check_name){
do{
check_name="dtable"+Math.floor(Math.random()*1000000);
}while(datatable_checks[check_name]);

$(this).attr('id',check_name);
}

if(!datatable_checks[check_name]){
tabl=$(this).dataTable({"bAutoWidth":false,"bStateSave": true,"sZeroRecords":"No records yet.","sPaginationType": "full_numbers"});
datatable_checks[check_name]=1;
}


});


}
