I'm using a jQuery DataTable to display data taken from a database using a stored procedure and web service. I can run the SP or service using Fiddler just fine, but when it comes to populating the DataTable I get the error documented here. In my specific case the message is:
"DataTables warning: table id=tblCashRecord - Requested unknown parameter '0' for row 0, column 0"
What happens then is that my DataTable shows the correct number of rows, but all of the cells are empty.
I'm pretty sure the number of columns in the HTML table are the same as the number of columns I'm pushing to using aoColumns (it's four), but I could be wrong. I know there are plenty of the same question being asked, but this is the only one I found useful that might be relevant, and I've also tried this without success.
My HTML table:
<table id="tblCashRecord" class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Kiosk Name</th>
<th>Service Type</th>
<th>Transaction Timestamp</th>
<th>Amount (RM)</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<th colspan="3" style="text-align: right">Total:</th>
<th><span id="totalAmount" style="margin-left: -8px;"></span></th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
My Javascript:
$.ajax({

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

success: function (response) {
if (response.success == true) {
if (response.cashPayment != null && response.cashPayment.length > 0) {
cashList = response.cashPayment;
var data = { "aaData": [] };
$('#tblCashRecord').dataTable().fnClearTable();
$('#tblCashRecord').dataTable().fnDestroy();
$.each(response.cashPayment, function (item) {
data.aaData.push({

My JSON Response (there are actually 8 entries, but I included only the first one to reduce clutter):
{
"success": true,
"cashPayment": [
{
"id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"kioskName": "00001",
"paymentRecordID": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy",
"paymentType": "Cash",
"serviceType": "Water Bill",
"total": 100,
"transactionTimestamp": "2016-01-21T10:15:21Z"
}
]
}
EDIT: I have edited the GUIDs in the response above to remove sensitive information.
When using the ajax option to load data for DataTables, a general error can be triggered if the server responds with anything other than a valid HTTP 2xx response. The error given is: DataTables warning: table id= {id} - Ajax error. where {id} is the DOM id of the table that triggered the error.
targets option provides the information required by DataTables for which columns in the table the column definition object should be applied. It can be: 0 or a positive integer - column index counting from the left. A negative integer - column index counting from the right.
Classic hungarian notation typo. aaColumns
should be aoColumns
- for array object. Then I am sure it will work. aoColumns
is BTW from 1.10.x now called columns
(but both names is still supported).
In general, use the new 1.10.x camelcase naming convention and please skip all that qouting around literal names :
table = $('#tblCashRecord').DataTable({
paging: false,
ordering: false,
autoWidth: false,
sortable: false,
filter: false,
info: false,
dom: 'Blfrtip',
data: data.aaData,
columns: [
{ data: "kioskName" },
{ data: "serviceType" },
{ data: "transactionTimestamp" },
{ data: "total" }
]
});
Update per comment. The reason for empty cells, after you have corrected "aaColumn
", is that you are using $.each
the wrong way :
$.each(response.cashPayment, function (item) {
should be
$.each(response.cashPayment, function (index, item) { //<----
data.aaData.push({
"id": item.id,
You are accidently trying to take the attributes out of the index, not the object.
