trouble with hidden column

hank scorpio

Hey!

Using Datatables with dynamic input from a PHP script, I'm able to display columns and do everything perfectly, but when I add the code to make a column hidden, I see two sets of navigation above and below the table.

Here's a link:

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi hank,

Yup got a good idea what's going on - thanks for the link - makes life much easier!

Looks like you are initialising the table twice - once here:
$('#products').dataTable( { ...

and once here:
oTable = $('#products').dataTable( );

And that's what's resulting in the double nav (etc) controls. If you are just updating a table cell then you probably want to use fnUpdate: http://datatables.net/api#fnUpdate

D'oh! Thanks, Allan.

Rookie mistake. :)
