Datatables seems to be adding an extra column

AliSalama

Hi,

Have been using datatables for a while and really impressed with it! It's fantastic to work with. However, I have now come across an issue that I can't seem to fix, and I've read around and can't find a fix for this.

I am getting an error message that says
DataTables warning (table id = 'event_search'): Requested unknown parameter '4' from the data source for row 0

Strangely if I add this to the initialisation it works but datatables adds a to the top of my table and therefore the columns are out of line.
[code]"aoColumns": [{ "bVisible": false }, null, null, null],[/code]

The strange thing is my html markup is as so:
[code]


Venue
Date
StartTime
EndTime




abc Venue
Thu Mar 1
16:00
17:00

[/code]

Which datatables translates to:
[code]


Date

StartTime
EndTime

[/code]


As you can see there is a blank in there, were there shouldn't be, which of course messes up my table.

Any idea why this may be? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Your HTML is invalid :-)

[code]
Date
[/code]

YOu need to close the th element, not open a new one!

That is a rookie error! I've spent hours trying to fix this and it's so obvious!

Thank you.

Easy mistake - I've learned what to look for with this kind of error over the years. Thanks for providing all of the details in your first post :-)
