Omit empty row

Omit empty row

A number of my tables contain no data rows. When initialising datatables, it inserts a new row that includes the value from oLanguage.sEmptyTable

What I would like is for datatables to completely omit adding this row, and simply leave the header with no rows in the body.

From looking at the docs, I can't see a way to do this.

I've worked around it by manually removing any empty rows after datatables is initialised:

[code]$('tbody>tr>td.dataTables_empty').parent().remove();[/code]

Also, I noticed a slight discrepancy in the documentation, the sRowEmpty custom class documentation states:
"Applied to the TR element that DataTables will create to show 'No matching records' information"

when in fact sRowEmpty is applied to a single TD element within the TR (at least that is what I'm seeing).

Thanks
