    @argentario84:
    > The table is not well formed

    I don't quite understand - what does the table look like in that case? The HTML table must match the formula: rows * columns = cells. Otherwise it simply won't work and you'll get the error described. If you want no rows, then output no rows in the tbody.

    @danisukma:
    Good to hear you got it sorted.

    Please please please give me a link! :-).

    There are a number of things that can cause this, and I'd need to see the page to be sure what is happening.

    I am developing software to help with debugging this kind of thing right now - but for now, I'd need to see the page to have any chance of suggesting what is wrong.

    I'll do a proper announcement later on, but I'd be interested if you could give my new debugging tool a go: http://debug.datatables.net . It will gather the information about your table and submit it to my server so I can see what might be happening.

    I just had the same problem, but only in IE. (version 6 and 8 I think), due to an extraneous comma after the last column. I guess Javascript handles array definitions differently between the browsers.

    Error in IE, Fine in Chrome:
    [code]
    "aoColumns": [
    null,
    { "sType": 'num-html' },
    null,
    ]
    [/code]

    Find in IE, Fine in Chrome:
    [code]
    "aoColumns": [
    null,
    { "sType": 'num-html' },
    null
    ]
    [/code]

    Posting just in case someone else has the same problem.

    I recently had this problem because I was dynamically selecting which columns to display in my table based on user input. Based on the comments above, my solution was to make the columns I didn't want to show up render a space even though they were not visible and set bDestroy to true.

    [code]
    function getCols(showAll){
    var cols = [];
    cols.push({sTitle:"Col 1"});
    cols.push({sTitle:"Col 2"});

    if(showAll == "true"){
    cols.push({sTitle:"Col 3"});
    cols.push({sTitle:"Col 4"});
    } else {
    cols.push({bVisible:false, fnRender:function(){ return ' '; }})
    cols.push({bVisible:false, fnRender:function(){ return ' '; }})
    }
    return cols;
    }

    $('#table').dataTable({
    bDestroy:true,
    aoColumns: getCols(),
    sAjaxSource: "someurl.php"
    });
    [/code]

    @brock and boyles: Thanks very much for the feedback - there are certainly a lot of ways in which this issue can arise!

    For anyone else interested in this topic please refer to this new FAQ: http://datatables.net/faqs#unknown_parameter . If it doesn't help, post in a _new_ thread with your debugger debug code.

    If you are using JSONObject then this can happen if the data returned by the POJO/bean class is null.

    To use objects, you need to tell DataTables which property from the objects belongs in each column - see: http://datatables.net/blog/Extended_data_source_options_with_DataTables

    DataTables warning : Requested unknown parameter from the data source for row

    I solved this by using like this under "aoColumns":
    { "sTitle": "YourName", "sClass": "center","sDefaultContent": " "}
    Sometimes your source may have null values. sorting may not work properly. Thats why "sDefaultContent": " " is necessary.. again this is one of the cause, but there could be other issues.

    I encountered the same error prompt but I am not using server-side processing.

    I used php to generate the table object like echo [code]"..."[/code]

    to be more specific here is an excerpt from my php code:

    See http://datatables.net/faqs#unknown_parameter - I suspect it is the colspan in your tbody.

    If the data source is the DOM, the HTML table itself, then this error seems to be caused by EMPTY CELLS in conjunction with using fnRender or some other options. In my case, I use the first column as a means to select a row via a checkbox.

    settings.$dataTable = $this.find("#TrendParametersTable").dataTable({
    "bJQueryUI": true
    , "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
    , "sScrollY": "250px"
    , "aoColumnDefs": [
    {
    "aTargets": [0]
    , "bSearchable": false
    , "fnRender": function (obj) {
    return '';
    }
    , "bUseRendered": false
    }
    , {
    "aTargets": [1]
    , "bSearchable": false
    , "bVisible": false
    }
    ]
    , "aaSorting": [[2, "asc"]]
    });

    I fixed it by putting "unchecked" in the cells of the first column as my table is rendered. My page's plugin exposes $.fn.TrendParameters.Toggle() method which updates the value of the data to either "checked" or "unchecked".

    I think it was the empty cells.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, and I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I tried your debugging tool, but it tells me jquery isn't loaded on the page. However, it is. I have some jquery calendar stuff working on the same page. Anywhow, here is my error: DataTables warning (table id = 'search-results-table'): Requested unknown parameter '7' from the data source for row 0

    My initialization code:
    [code]
    $('#search-results-table').dataTable( {
    "bProcessing": true,
    "bServerSide": true,
    "sAjaxSource": "../dataTablesServerSide.php",
    "bPaginate": true,
    "bFilter": false,
    "bSort": true,
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bAutoWidth": false,
    "bLengthChange": false,
    "bInfo": true,
    "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    "oTableTools": {
    "sSwfPath": "/common/TableTools-2.1.2/media/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf"
    },
    "iDisplayLength": 20
    } );
    [/code]
    my server-side script is literally a copy from http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/data_sources/server_side.html just replacing the fake db info with my db info.

    Note: My array in the server-side script looks like this:
    $aColumns = array( 'jobnum', 'jobtype', 'jobdesc', 'jobstart', 'jobend', 'jobfinished', 'jobnotes' );

    My table includes a few other columns that aren't database fields. How can I add them in? Is that causing my problem? I'm very stumped right now. I'd offer you a link but this is on an intranet that requires login.

    Edit: I forgot to include the json being returned. Sorry if it is in a terrible format:
    [code]

    @tash - You've got a few `null` values in your data there. You need to tell DataTables how to display `null` through the use of sDefaultContent . It won't automatically put an empty string in because null !== "".

    Allan, I've tried aoColumnDefs but can't seem to get it right. If you look at my init code in my post from earlier, can you tell me how I'd accomplish the task?
  • allanallan Posts: 63,489Questions: 1Answers: 10,470 Site admin
    Easiest option would be to add:

    [code]
    aoColumnDefs: [
    {
    sDefaultContent: '',
    aTargets: [ '_all' ]
    }
    ]
    [/code]

    That seems to have done the trick. This next question might be something for a different topic, so please let me know if I shouldn't be asking here. My table has a couple of columns where data isn't retrieved from the same table as the rest of the columns. So, in my $aColumns array I have omitted them. But now my dataTable is out of whack. All of the data is there, but the th's don't line up correctly with the data. Does that ring a bell?
  • tashtash Posts: 13Questions: 0Answers: 0
    oh, I guess there was that issue from my last comment, and the fact when I load my page, I can now see the pre-dataTables formatting of the table for about a second, then the neat looking dataTable. Know how I can go about fixing that?
  • allanallan Posts: 63,489Questions: 1Answers: 10,470 Site admin
    You could put it in a display:none element and then make it visible in fnInitComplete (and call fnAdjustColumnSizing), or an element with height:1px.

    ideally it would be good to track different issues in individual threads please - otherwise I get myself very confused, particularly in a thread as long as this one.
