Empty Cell Display "Click to edit"

rwzhao

Hello All,

I use DataTables for dynamic table from a MySql table. Everything is displayed fine except the empty cell which display as "Click to edit". Is there anyway not to display this but just a empty cell?

Thanks.

I am using it with Jeditable plugin.

Hi,
I have seen this post when i was searching for some other problem and I noticed it is a bit old, but I had same problem time ago and i can answer how to help this.

Jeditable has a parameter called 'placeholder' and you can set with any text you want to show when cell is empty.

A simple example can be this one:

$('td', oTable.fnGetNodes()).editable(function(value, settings) {
return(value);
}, {
placeholder : ' '
});

So it will show empty when cell is empty.
Hope it helps.
Regards.

Im sorry. Actually I was trying to write   but it went like empty... so the example would be like this:

$('td', oTable.fnGetNodes()).editable(function(value, settings) {
return(value);
}, {
placeholder : '  '
});
