using javascript arrays for aaData

pedalshoe

Hi,
i have a 2d javascript array defined as:
var myData = new Array(1)
myData [0] = new Array();

and I insert data into the array:
var i=0;
myData[0][i++] = "myData1";
myData[0][i++] ="myData2";
...

when i initialize my single column dataTable using:
"aaData":myData,..

the data table only shows one row of data. (the first record only)

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Thank you,
Christopher

This link helped me understand what was missing..
http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/Scroller/large_js_source.html

Instead of trying to make a 2d array, i just inserted the new row by using push(["myDataN"]);
using the square brackets to specify an array (although it is only one element).

This was my problem too! After an hour I found this page, made my morning, thanks.

Here's my sample code too, just for anyone else in the future:

// Processing JSON data into an array
for (i=0; i

There is an example showing how to do this here: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/data_sources/js_array.html . You want want to also consider enabling deferred rendering ( bDeferRender ) for a bit more speed :-)
