No data available in table with IE

jasonp

Hi, I have a table that is Java driven from an oracle database with about 400 records and the following structure:

[code]






























[/code]

I'm using a basic init with a sort on the number one column:

[code]
jQuery("#striped").dataTable( {
"aaSorting": [[1,'asc']]
});
[/code]

I can't get this to display in IE, it simply loads a while longer then the other browsers and displays "No data available in table".

Any ideas?

jasonp

Update:

I was able to get the plugin working in IE, but now I get an error.

Line: 2731
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

[code]2731 aLocalData[jInner] = $(nTds[j]).text().trim();[/code]

Hi jasonp,

I think the problem probably stems from the fact that unfortunately your HTML is invalid. The TBODY can only have the TR element as a child element(s) - from the HTML 4 strict doc type:

[code]
<!ELEMENT tbody (tr)+>
[/code]
DataTables does a lot of using child elements to speed up processing as must as possible, so it requires the HTML structure to be valid. I suspect that this is the root of the issue.

What did you do to get it working in IE?

Yeah, I saw that. To get it working I moved the form outside of the table instead of nested in the tbody element.

I ended up having to use the 1.7.6.dev script and it fixed the error I was getting.

Ah good - so you aren't getting the error you had on line 2731 with the latest development version? That would be good news :-)

Nope, no more error!

Hooray :-). Good to hear that - time to release 1.7.6.... ;-) (a few more things to do with it first actually).
