oSettings is null when using server-side

Hello All,
I'm using datatables inside a div to show a report based on a form submission. Here's my code:
----

$('#submit3').click(function() {
$('#rresults').hide();
$('#rrtable').dataTable( {
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bAutoWidth": false,
"sAjaxSource": "/cgi-bin/shlk/reports.pl?sdrm="+$('#sdrm').val()+"&edrm="+$('#edrm').val()
});
var tbl =$('#rrtable').dataTable();
tbl.fnDraw();
$('#rresults').show();
});

------
1) so basically user enters info in form fields, hits the submit button.
2) datatable (rrtable) is inside rresults div and am hiding/shwoing that before/after i get the results from backend.
3) so when i hit submit, am getting an error which says "oSettings is null". The request is not sent to the backend also.

what am doing wrong?

Thank you

Ps: Also Allan, if you are reading this, I would like to thank you for a wonder ful piece of software that you created :-).

    You're re-declaring DataTables on the table without any options, try this instead:
    [code]$('#submit3').click(function() {
    $('#rresults').hide();
    var tbl = $('#rrtable').dataTable( {
    "bProcessing": true,
    "bServerSide": true,
    "bJQueryUI": true,
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bAutoWidth": false,
    "sAjaxSource": "/cgi-bin/shlk/reports.pl?sdrm="+$('#sdrm').val()+"&edrm="+$('#edrm').val()
    });
    tbl.fnDraw();
    $('#rresults').show();
    });[/code]

    (I just removed "var tbl =$('#rrtable').dataTable();" and saved the reference from the first call in "tbl")

    I'm facing the same issue. Sometimes datatables stop working and sometimes Safari crash...

    I've set up datatables with some external inputs for filtering: when I try a search (using the external input) the debugger give me this error (but still draw the table).
    TypeError: Result of expression 'oSettings' [null] is not an object. -- jquery.dataTables.js:2631

    Somethins the error becomes this: (and datatables stops working)
    TypeError: Result of expression 'oSettings.aoData[iRow]' [undefined] is not an object. -- jquery.dataTables.js:1521

    I will be really grateful if someone can give me an hint.
    Michele.




    here is the code that I use:

    [code]
    var oTable = $('#tutto').dataTable( {
    "sDom": 'rtipl',
    "oLanguage": { "sUrl": "../include/dataTables-1.6/it_IT.txt" },
    "aoColumns": [ /* id */ { "bVisible": false }, /* priorita */ { "bVisible": false }, /* stato */ { "bVisible": false }, /* num_richiesta */ { "bSortable": false }, /* data_richiesta */ { "bVisible": false }, /* budget */ { "bVisible": false }, /* dipartimento */ { "bVisible": false }, /* unita */ null, /* show_details */ { "bSortable": false }, /* apparecchiatura */ null, /* civab */ { "bVisible": false }, /* quantita */ { "bSortable": false }, /* preventivo */ null, /* note */ { "bVisible": false }, /* consumi */ { "bVisible": false }, /* note_commissione */ { "bVisible": false }, /* classe_commissione */ { "bVisible": false }, /* autorizzazione */ { "bVisible": false }, /* ordine */ { "bSortable": false }, /* data_ordine */ null, /* importo */ null, /* num_fattura */ { "bVisible": false }, /* data_fattura */ { "bVisible": false }, /* data_collaudo */ { "bVisible": false }, /* prot_collaudo */ { "bVisible": false }, /* show_tags */ { "bSortable": false }],
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bProcessing": true,
    "bServerSide": true,
    "sAjaxSource": "./server_processing.php",
    "fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
    /* Add some extra data to the sender */
    aoData.push( { "name": "dipartimento_id", "value": $('#dipartimento_id').val() }, { "name": "unita_id", "value": $('#unita_id').val() },
    { "name": "APP", "value": "budget" },
    { "name": "el", "value": "tutto" },
    { "name": "table", "value": 'mainlist' },
    { "name": "show", "value": show },
    { "name": "tag", "value": "" },
    { "name": "search", "value": search } );
    $.getJSON( sSource, aoData, function (json) {
    /* Do whatever additional processing you want on the callback, then tell DataTables */
    fnCallback(json)
    } );
    },
    "fnDrawCallback": function() {

    $('.tooltip', oTable.fnGetNodes()).cluetip({
    showTitle: false,
    cluetipClass: 'jtip',
    arrows: true,
    dropShadow: false
    });

    $('#tutto tbody tr').each( function () {
    var aData = oTable.fnGetData( this );

    if ( 18 != '999' && aData[18] != '') {
    $(this).addClass('gradeA');
    } else
    if ( 2 != '999' && aData[2] == '1') {
    $(this).addClass('gradeU');
    } else
    if (1 != '999' && aData[1] != '') {
    $(this).addClass('pr_'+aData[1]);
    }

    });

    }
    } );
    [/code]

    Seems it crashes when the results of a search is 0 items.
    Very strange... using the debugger of Safari I've seen that the variable oSettings.oFeatures.bSort is always true... strange that the error is "is not an object".

    What is the JSON code returned from the server? If you look in Inspector or Firebug you'll be able to see it.

    this is one...
    [code]
    {"sEcho": 22, "iTotalRecords": 546, "iTotalDisplayRecords": 7, "aaData": [ ["116","Nuovo Osp.",""," ","Dip Medicina","USC Gastroenterologia","","Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) (elet ...","ELB","1","30.000","","prezzo indicativo","manipoli dedicati","","","V ADPQ&nbsp"],["559","Nuovo Osp.","559"," ","Direzione Sanitaria","Direzione Medica di Presidio","","elettrobisturi","ELB","24","246.000","","Elettrobisturi di alto/medio livello ...","","","","V ADPQ&nbsp"],["783","Nuovo Osp.","783"," ","Dip Medicina","USSD Pronto Soccorso","","Elettrobisturi","ELB","1","10.000","0","per sala piccoli interventi","","","","Senza Fin.&nbsp"],["815","Nuovo Osp.","815"," ","Dip Materno-Infantile e Pediatrico","USC Chirurgia Pediatrica","","Elettrobisturi","ELB","1","6.000","0","per ambulatorio piccoli interventi","","","","Senza Fin.&nbsp"],["1071","Nuovo Osp.","1071","16/03/2009","Dip Materno-Infantile e Pediatrico","USC Ostetricia e Ginecologia","","Elettrobisturi per sala cesarei","ELB","2","24.000","","","","","","V ADPQ&nbsp"],["1227","Nuovo Osp.","1227","27/05/2009","Dip Cardiovascolare","USC Chirurgia Vascolare","","Elettrobisturi","ELB","1","10.000","","per Ambulatorio

    and this is one the search results is empty (the error that make datatables stop working)

    [code]
    {"sEcho": 23, "iTotalRecords": 546, "iTotalDisplayRecords": 0, "aaData": [] }
    [/code]

    Curious - I've been tracing a bug in Firefox which sounds similar, but I'd be surprised if it was the same since you are seeing the JSON return in Firebug (I'm not - but it does get to the computer - weird).

    Do you have a link you can post showing an example of this. http://datatables.net/contact if you don't want to make it public.

    It seems that the error is the line used to apply different colors to the elements.

    [code]var aData = oTable.fnGetData( this );[/code]

    When the table is empty... this line make something "bad"

    Michele.

    When the table is empty, how can you have 'this' being a TR element, since there are no TR elements? What is this in this context - perhaps it is something that DataTables should cope with...
