Rendering in SharePoint

khaos

I have a webpart that I wanted to use datatables on.
I took the html and the css files from the demo.

First I ran the demo in a non SharePoint .NET environment and it works as expected. :)

When running in SharePoint datatables does not render at all and any jQueryui will stop functioning. If I comment out the call for datatables the jqery ui items start to function again. I am using the zero configuration to simplify the debug process.

What can I do to help you help me?

My thanks in advance,

allan

Hi khaos,

What is the HTML output for the table? Does it include a THEAD and TBODY like in the DataTables requirements: http://datatables.net/usage/#prerequisites ? I don't have a SharePoint install myself and haven't used it before so I can't say exactly why this might not be working without a bit more information. Specifically are you getting any Javascript errors? Also can you give us a link so I can see what is happening?

Thanks,
Allan

np. I have to snip some rows to make it fit in the post. I am using the actual html table code from your site and the zero config. No errors in IE or chrome.

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').dataTable();
});

Allan, I have found it. It was a true PICNIC error. I referenced the datatable script before the jQuery script. Although there were no visible errors. I was able to dig in and find that jQuery was unknown. Sorry to waste your time.

Heh - I like that acronym - I'll use that many times myself I'm sure! Good to hear you got it working :-)

Enjoy. Since everyone knows about the id-10-t error, I had to come up with something else...

I will be trying to get the ASP.NET GridView to work correctly soon. I have some real work to do to try and get the rendered html to format as desired by DataTable. I will post as I make progress.
