Extra sort wrapper added everytime on reinitialization

chobo

Hi, I am having some trouble with reinitializing a dataTable. I have an event handle that open a dialog on click which contains a dataTable. I initialize the table like this

[code]
var oDataTable = $(this).dataTable(
{
"bJQueryUI": true,
"bFilter": true,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"bDestroy": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aaSorting": [[1, 'asc']], //Default sorting on email / username
"oLanguage":
{
"sZeroRecords": "Add some courses to your planner"
},
"aoColumns":
[
{"bSortable": false, "bSearchable": false }, // Permission Id
{"bSortable": true, "bSearchable": true }, // email / username
{"bSortable": false, "bSearchable": false }, // view permission
{"bSortable": false, "bSearchable": false }, // edit permission
{"bSortable": false, "bSearchable": false }, // delete permission
{"bSortable": false, "bSearchable": false } // delete row
],
"fnInitComplete": function ()
{

$(this).show();
}
[/code]


I use bDestroy to handle reinitializing the table everytime a user opens the dialog. The problem I am having is if the dialog is opened more than one time the table styling gets messed up.

In the code I noticed that it is adding an extra sort wrapper in the headers as well.

This is what is looks like on the first click (working)

This is what is looks like if I open and close the dialog containing the dataTable three times. Notice how it keeps adding DataTables_srot_wrapper. Adds a new one each time you open and close it.

That looks like a bug I'm afraid - sorry :-( . I'll see if I can address that in the next release. Until then I'm afraid that the work around is to manually remove the element - I can't think of another way of doing it (well, I suppose you could cache the header contents, but that's a bit rubbish).

Thanks for the response Allan. It shouldn't be hard to work around :) I just wasn't sure if I was missing something on my end.

I'm facing the same issue, do you have any idea how can i fix it or just workaround?
