datatables works fine with firefox but not with IE 8?

yaconsult

New user here, using datatables to display stuff from a database. Put together a demo and it works fine with firefox and chrome, but not with IE. By that I mean that the table columns don't have any controls, can't be clicked on, etc. I tried compatibility mode in IE, but it didn't make any difference.

Are there any browser settings that will allow this to work in IE? The IE version is 8 on windows 7 with all the latest updates. The datatables version is the one linked from the download page.

Thanks!

see your datatable initialization code, you must be missing something for ex. you may have put some extra comma while configuring datatable in .dataTable().
if it's not the case then show us your code so that we can figure out something.

Agreed; it's probably a trivial JavaScript error that the other browsers are fixing on the fly. The one thing I LIKE about IE is that it can and will break for the smallest error, while Firefox will make a good guess as to what was expected, and carry on its merry way. For example:
