  Can you show us your initialisation code? It sounds like you are calling $().dataTable() on the first table twice - which is why the warning is showing up (since you can't do this!).

  I am using jquery for detecting which item to be selected as:
  
  [code]
  function getSelectedValue() {
  var getvalues = null;
  if (!$("#items option:selected").length) {
  $("#items option[value='All']").attr('selected', 'selected');
  getvalues = $("#items").val();
  firstTable();
  secondTable();
  
  } else {
  getvalues = $("#items").val();
  oFirstTable = null;
  oSecondTable= null;
  
  
  if (getvalues == "First") {
  if (oFirstTable != null) {
  oFirstTable .fnDraw();
  return;
  }
  $("#firstTable").show();
  firstTable();
  
  
  }
  if (getvalues == "Second") {
  
  if(oSecondTable!=null)
  { oSecondTable.fnDraw();
  return; }
  
  $("#secondTable").show();
  secondTable();
  
  }
  if (getvalues == "All") {
  $("#firstTable").show();
  $("#secondTable").show();
  firstTable();
  secondTable();
  }
  }
  }
  
  //first and second table initialisation
  function firstTable() {
  oFirstTable= firstTable.dataTable( {
  "bPaginate" : true,
  "bProcessing" : true,
  "sPaginationType" : "full_numbers",
  "oLanguage" : {
  "sZeroRecords" : "No Results Found"
  },
  "bFilter" : false,
  "bInfo" : true,
  "bJQueryUI" : true,
  "iDisplayLength" : 25,
  "bLengthChange" : false,
  "bSort" : false,
  "aaData": [
  [ "First"],
  ]
  });
  }
  
  function secondTable() {
  oSecondTable= secondTable.dataTable( {
  "bPaginate" : true,
  "bProcessing" : true,
  "sPaginationType" : "full_numbers",
  "oLanguage" : {
  "sZeroRecords" : "No Results Found"
  },
  "bFilter" : false,
  "bInfo" : true,
  "bJQueryUI" : true,
  "iDisplayLength" : 25,
  "bLengthChange" : false,
  "bSort" : false,
  "aaData": [
  [ "Second"],
  ]
  });
  }
  [/code]
  
  If calling datatable twice is not possible how should i overcome from this problem??

  [code]
  oFirstTable = firstTable.dataTable( {
  [/code]
  Should that be:
  
  [code]
  oFirstTable = $("#firstTable").dataTable( {
  [/code]
  ?
  
  Given that firstTable() looks recursive at the moment.
  
  Can getSelectedValue() be called more than once? If so then I think that's the problem - you can't re-initialise a table, you need to use the API methods to get the information from the table - just like the alert says. If it's only called once, then I can't see a code path which would result in this error... (unless my above comment does the trick).
