jQuery Datatable row grouping total items display "Show 1 to n entries" - javascript

I am trying to achieve the row group,
I found this js http://cdn.rawgit.com/ashl1/datatables-rowsgroup/v1.0.0/dataTables.rowsGroup.js plugin to achieve like below,
But when I am using this plugin, number of entries is showing wrong.
Here is my sample code
<table id="example" class="display nowrap" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>First Group</th>
<th>Second Group</th>
<th>Third</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
JS Code:
var data = [{"first":"subgroup1","second":"group1","third":"third data"},
{"first":"subgroup1","second":"group1","third":"third data"},
{"first":"subgroup2","second":"group2",
"third":"lorem ipsum data"},
{"first":"subgroup2","second":"group2",
"third":"lorem ipsum data"},
]
$('#example').DataTable({
columns:[
{
name:"first",
data:"first"
},
{
name:"second",
data:"second"
},
{
name:"thirddata",
data:"third"
},
],
data:data,
rowsGroup: [
'first:name',
'thirddata:name'
]
});
Updated in JS Fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/r2f87hg6/2/
Please suggest with this datatable to display number of entries by grouped.
Thanks

Cannot read property 'mData' of undefined - Datatables [duplicate]

I have an issue with Datatables. I also went through this link which didn't yield any results. I have included all the prerequisites where I'm parsing data directly into the DOM.
Script
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.viewCentricPage .teamCentric').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bPaginate": false,
"bFilter": true,
"bSort": true,
"aaSorting": [
[1, "asc"]
],
"aoColumnDefs": [{
"bSortable": false,
"aTargets": [0]
}, {
"bSortable": true,
"aTargets": [1]
}, {
"bSortable": false,
"aTargets": [2]
}],
});
});
FYI dataTables requires a well formed table. It must contain <thead> and <tbody> tags, otherwise it throws this error. Also check to make sure all your rows including header row have the same number of columns.
The following will throw error (no <thead> and <tbody> tags)
<table id="sample-table">
<tr>
<th>title-1</th>
<th>title-2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>data-1</td>
<td>data-2</td>
</tr>
</table>
The following will also throw an error (unequal number of columns)
<table id="sample-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>title-1</th>
<th>title-2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>data-1</td>
<td>data-2</td>
<td>data-3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
For more info read more here
A common cause for Cannot read property 'fnSetData' of undefined is the mismatched number of columns, like in this erroneous code:
<thead> <!-- thead required -->
<tr> <!-- tr required -->
<th>Rep</th> <!-- td instead of th will also work -->
<th>Titel</th>
<!-- th missing here -->
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Rep</td>
<td>Titel</td>
<td>Missing corresponding th</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
While the following code with one <th> per <td> (number of columns must match) works:
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Rep</th> <!-- 1st column -->
<th>Titel</th> <!-- 2nd column -->
<th>Added th</th> <!-- 3rd column; th added here -->
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Rep</td> <!-- 1st column -->
<td>Titel</td> <!-- 2nd column -->
<td>th now present</td> <!-- 3rd column -->
</tr>
</tbody>
The error also appears when using a well-formed thead with a colspan but without a second row.
For a table with 7 colums, the following does not work and we see "Cannot read property 'mData' of undefined" in the javascript console:
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Rep</th>
<th>Titel</th>
<th colspan="5">Download</th>
</tr>
</thead>
While this works:
<thead>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">Rep</th>
<th rowspan="2">Titel</th>
<th colspan="5">Download</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>pdf</th>
<th>nwc</th>
<th>nwctxt</th>
<th>mid</th>
<th>xml</th>
</tr>
</thead>
Having <thead> and <tbody> with the same numbers of <th> and <td> solved my problem.
I had this same problem using DOM data in a Rails view created via the scaffold generator. By default the view omits <th> elements for the last three columns (which contain links to show, hide, and destroy records). I found that if I added in titles for those columns in a <th> element within the <thead> that it fixed the problem.
I can't say if this is the same problem you're having since I can't see your html. If it is not the same problem, you can use the chrome debugger to figure out which column it is erroring out on by clicking on the error in the console (which will take you to the code it is failing on), then adding a conditional breakpoint (at col==undefined). When it stops you can check the variable i to see which column it is currently on which can help you figure out what is different about that column from the others. Hope that helps!
This can also occur if you have table arguments for things like 'aoColumns':[..] which don't match the correct number of columns. Problems like this can commonly occur when copy pasting code from other pages to quick start your datatables integration.
Example:
This won't work:
<table id="dtable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>col 1</th>
<th>col 2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<td>data 1</td>
<td>data 2</td>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
var dTable = $('#dtable');
dTable.DataTable({
'order': [[ 1, 'desc' ]],
'aoColumns': [
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
{
'bSortable': false
}
]
});
</script>
But this will work:
<table id="dtable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>col 1</th>
<th>col 2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<td>data 1</td>
<td>data 2</td>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
var dTable = $('#dtable');
dTable.DataTable({
'order': [[ 0, 'desc' ]],
'aoColumns': [
null,
{
'bSortable': false
}
]
});
</script>
One more reason why this happens is because of the columns parameter in the DataTable initialization.
The number of columns has to match with headers
"columns" : [ {
"width" : "30%"
}, {
"width" : "15%"
}, {
"width" : "15%"
}, {
"width" : "30%"
} ]
I had 7 columns
<th>Full Name</th>
<th>Phone Number</th>
<th>Vehicle</th>
<th>Home Location</th>
<th>Tags</th>
<th>Current Location</th>
<th>Serving Route</th>
Tips 1:
Refer to this Link you get some Ideas:
https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/20273/uncaught-typeerror-cannot-read-property-mdata-of-undefined
Tips 2:
Check following is correct:
Please check the Jquery Vesion
Please check the versiion of yours CDN or your local datatable related .min & css files
your table have <thead></thead> & <tbody></tbody> tags
Your table Header Columns Length same like Body Columns Length
Your Using some cloumns in style='display:none' as same propery apply in you both Header & body.
your table columns no empty, use something like [ Null, --, NA, Nil ]
Your table is well one with out <td>, <tr> issue
You have to remove your colspan and the number of th and td needs to match.
I faced the same error, when tried to add colspan to last th
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th> <!-- column 1 -->
<th colspan="2"> </th> <!-- column 2&3 -->
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
and solved it by adding hidden column to the end of tr
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th> <!-- column 1 -->
<th colspan="2"> </th> <!-- column 2&3 -->
<!-- hidden column 4 for proper DataTable applying -->
<th style="display: none"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<!-- hidden column 4 for proper DataTable applying -->
<td style="display: none"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
Explanaition to that is that for some reason DataTable can't be applied to table with colspan in the last th, but can be applied, if colspan used in any middle th.
This solution is a bit hacky, but simpler and shorter than any other solution I found.
I hope that will help someone.
in my case this error occured if i use table without header
<thead>
<tr>
<th>example</th>
</tr>
</thead>
I am getting a similar error. The problem is that the header line is not correct. When I did the following header line, the problem I was having was resolved.
<table id="example" class="table table-striped table-bordered" style="width:100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="6">Common Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tiger Nixon</td>
<td>System Architect</td>
<td>Edinburgh</td>
<td>61</td>
<td>2011/04/25</td>
<td>$320,800</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Slightly different problem for me from the answers given above. For me, the HTML markup was fine, but one of my columns in the javascript was missing and didn't match the html.
i.e.
<table id="companies-index-table" class="table table-responsive-sm table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Created at</th>
<th>Updated at</th>
<th>Count</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($companies as $company)
<tr>
<td>{{ $company->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $company->name }}</td>
<td>{{ $company->created_at }}</td>
<td>{{ $company->updated_at }}</td>
<td>{{ $company->count }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
My Script:-
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#companies-index-table').DataTable({
serverSide: true,
processing: true,
responsive: true,
ajax: "{{ route('admincompanies.datatables') }}",
columns: [
{ name: 'id' },
{ name: 'name' },
{ name: 'created_at' },
{ name: 'updated_at' }, <-- I was missing this line so my columns didn't match the thead section.
{ name: 'count', orderable: false },
],
});
});
</script>
I had a dynamically generated, but badly formed table with a typo. I copied a <td> tag inside another <td> by mistake. My column count matched. I had <thead> and <tbody> tags. Everything matched, except for this little mistake I didn't notice for a while, because my column had a lot of link and image tags in it.
This one drove me crazy - how to render a DataTable successfully in a .NET MVC view. This worked:
**#model List<Student>
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Index";
}
<h2>NEW VIEW Index</h2>
<table id="example" class="display" style="width:100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var element in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(m => element.ID)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(m => element.FirstName)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(m => element.LastName)</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>**
Script in JS file:
**$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').DataTable();
});**
For those working in Webforms using GridView:
Moses's answer is totally correct. But since we're generating the table, the thead tag isn't generated by default. So to solve the problem add [YourGridViewID].HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader to your backend, below of the DataBind() method call (if you're using it). This configuration takes the HeaderText value of the Field in your GridView as the value of the th tag it generates inside the thead.
In my case, and using ASP.NET GridView, UpdatePanel and with DropDownList (with Chosen plugin where I reset value to zero using a Javascript line), I got this error and tried everything with no hope for days. The problem was that the code of my dropdown in code behind was as follows and when I select a value twice to apply its action to selected grid rows I get that error. I thought for days it's a Javascript issue (again, in my case) and finally the fix was giving zero for the drowpdown value with the update process:
private void ddlTasks_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (ddlTasks.SelectedValue != 0) {
ChangeStatus(ddlTasks.SelectedValue);
ddlTasks.SelectedValue = "0"; //// **This fixed my issue**
}
dvItemsGrid.DataSource = CreateDatasource();
dvItemsGrid.DataBind();
dvItemsGrid.UseAccessibleHeader = true;
dvItemsGrid.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
}
This was my fault:
$('#<%= DropDownList.ClientID%>').val('0').trigger("chosen:updated").chosen();
I had encountered the same issue but I was generating table Dynamically. In my case, my table had missing <thead> and <tbody> tags.
here is my code snippet if it helped somebody
//table string
var strDiv = '<table id="tbl" class="striped center responsive-table">';
//add headers
var strTable = ' <thead><tr id="tableHeader"><th>Customer Name</th><th>Customer Designation</th><th>Customer Email</th><th>Customer Organization</th><th>Customer Department</th><th>Customer ContactNo</th><th>Customer Mobile</th><th>Cluster Name</th><th>Product Name</th><th> Installed Version</th><th>Requirements</th><th>Challenges</th><th>Future Expansion</th><th>Comments</th></tr> </thead> <tbody>';
//add data
$.each(data, function (key, GetCustomerFeedbackBE) {
strTable = strTable + '<tr><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustDesignation + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustEmail + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustOrganization + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustDepartment + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustContactNo + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustMobile + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrClusterName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrProductName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrInstalledVersion + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrRequirements + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrChallenges + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrFutureExpansion + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrComments + '</td></tr>';
});
//add end of tbody
strTable = strTable + '</tbody></table>';
//insert table into a div
$('#divCFB_D').html(strDiv);
$('#tbl').html(strTable);
//finally add export buttons
$('#tbl').DataTable({
dom: 'Bfrtip',
buttons: [
'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
]
});
In addition to inconsistent and numbers, a missing item inside datatable scripts columns part can cause this too. Correcting that fixed my datatables search bar.
I'm talking about this part;
"columns": [
null,
.
.
.
null
],
I struggled with this error till I was pointed that this part had one less "null" than my total thead count.
in my case the cause of this error is i have 2 tables that have same id name with different table structure, because of my habit of copy-paste table code. please make sure you have different id for each table.
<table id="tabel_data">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>heading 1</th>
<th>heading 2</th>
<th>heading 3</th>
<th>heading 4</th>
<th>heading 5</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>data-1</td>
<td>data-2</td>
<td>data-3</td>
<td>data-4</td>
<td>data-5</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table id="tabel_data">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>heading 1</th>
<th>heading 2</th>
<th>heading 3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>data-1</td>
<td>data-2</td>
<td>data-3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You need to wrap your your rows in <thead> for the column headers and <tbody> for the rows. Also ensure that you have matching no. of column headers <th> as you do for the td
I may be arising by aoColumns field. As stated HERE
aoColumns: If specified, then the length of this array must be equal
to the number of columns in the original HTML table. Use 'null' where
you wish to use only the default values and automatically detected
options.
Then you have to add fields as in table Columns
...
aoColumnDefs: [
null,
null,
null,
{ "bSortable": false },
null,
],
...
I found some "solution".
This code doesn't work:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="3">Test</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
But this is ok:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="2">Test</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
I think, that the problem is, that the last TH can't have attribute colspan.

DataTable plugin using aurelia updating data

I'm using the DataTables and DatePicker plugins with Aurelia.
I basically want the user to select a date and have the data table render the data for that date but with my current code there seems to be an issue with the datatable once the data changes. As soon as the data changes the formatting on the datatable plugin seems off and the sorting, scrolling buttons don't work.
I tried adding the datepicker on a jsfiddle but I had no luck as you have to add some configuration to package.json and I can't seem to figure that out. If anyone could give any hints I would really appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions
pickerChanged() {
this.picker.events.onChange = (e) => {
this.data = [];
let inputDate = new Date(e.date.format('YYYY-MM-DD') + ' 00:00');
let data = (demoData as any).default;
for (let row of data) {
let rowDate = new Date((row as any).date);
if (inputDate.getTime() >= rowDate.getTime()) {
this.data.push(row);
}
}
console.log(4444, this.data);
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#dataTable').DataTable( {
"scrollY": "280px",
"scrollCollapse": true,
"paging":false,
"searching": false,
"info": false,
"language": {
"emptyTable": " "
}
} );
} );
};
}
<abp-datetime-picker element.bind="picker"></abp-datetime-picker>
<div class="row pt-2">
<div class="col-12">
<table class="table" id="dataTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Receipt #</th>
<th>Invoice number</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Total</th>
<th>Balance</th>
<th>Payment</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr repeat.for="row of data">
<td>${row.id}</td>
<td>${row.name}</td>
<td>${row.receiptNumber}</td>
<td>${row.invoiceNumber}</td>
<td>${row.date}</td>
<td>${row.total}</td>
<td>${row.balance}</td>
<td>${row.payment}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="text-center" if.bind="!data.length">No records available. Please select a valid date</div>
</div>
</div>
After a few hours of investigating the issue I finally figured it out. The problem with my old code was that I was passing data to the datatable using ${row.id} for example instead of using the data parameter with datatable like follows.
$('#dataTable').DataTable({
data: this.data,
columns: [
{ data: 'id' },
{ data: 'name' },
{ data: 'receiptNumber' },
{ data: 'invoiceNumber' },
{ data: 'date' },
{ data: 'total' },
{ data: 'balance' },
{ data: 'payment' },
]
});
<div class="row pt-2">
<div class="col-12">
<table class="table" id="dataTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Receipt #</th>
<th>Invoice number</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Total</th>
<th>Balance</th>
<th>Payment</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</div>
</div>
and then calling this function whenever you want to update your data
$('#dataTable').DataTable().clear().rows.add(this.data).draw();

Build table dynamically using model in angularjs

Hello everyone I have this mark up:
table: {
columns: [
{
header: "Col 1",
rows: [
1,2
]
},
{
header: "Col 2",
rows: [
5,6
]
},
{
header: "Col 3",
rows: [
3,4
]
}
]
}
I would like to use angularjs to build a table like this:
<table class="table table-condensed table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-ng-repeat="col in table.columns">{{col.header}}</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr data-ng-repeat="col in table.columns">
<td data-ng-repeat="row in col.rows">{{row}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I would like to get the result like this:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
1 5 3
2 6 4
However, the code above doesn't produce that result. I don't mind changing the structure of the data if there is a better way to do this. The only requirement is that if I remove one column, all the rows belonging to that column need to go as well. Thanks
Maintain the data as you have it, and use the two functions below to obtain the rows and modify the template to use the getRows() function, please note that the code considers that you always have at least one column:
function getRows(){
let rows = new Array<Array<number>>();
for (let i = 0; i<this.table.columns[0].rows.length; i++) {
rows.push(getRow(i));
}
return row;
}
function getRow(index){
let row = new Array<number>();
for (let column of this.table.columns) {
row.push(column.rows[index];
}
return row;
}
<table class="table table-condensed table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-ng-repeat="col in table.columns">{{col.header}}</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr data-ng-repeat="row in getRows()">
<td data-ng-repeat="value in row">{{row}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Hope this helps

Datatables.js: How to read in JSON

So I've been messing around with Datatables.js but I can't seem to populate it with results. So I have a Java servlet that returns the following JSON:
[{"fileName":"report (1).xlsx","fileSize":"82 KB","fileDate":"07/13/2016 15:19:43"},{"fileName":"report (2).xlsx","fileSize":"11 KB","fileDate":"07/07/2016 11:35:47"},{"fileName":"report (3).xlsx","fileSize":"11 KB","fileDate":"07/07/2016 11:35:47"},{"fileName":"report (4).xlsx","fileSize":"9 KB","fileDate":"07/13/2016 15:20:54"}]
My HTML looks likes:
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
My JS looks like:
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"processing": true,
"ajax": {
"url": "/TR3Application/FileViewerServlet",
"dataSrc": "",
"type": "GET"
}
} );
});
When I just call AJAX and log what it returns, I'm getting the exact same JSON response from the servlet. But the Datatables don't seem to populate anything. What am I doing wrong?
You need to let dataTables knows the columns - Json mapping.
<tr>
<th data-data="fileName">Name</th>
<th data-data="fileSize">Size</th>
<th data-data="fileDate">Date</th>
</tr>

How to hide/display rows in datatables?

I am trying to hide/display certain rows based on data from a hidden column. my table structure looks like:
<table id="agent_search" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<th>Agent ID</th>
<th>Agent Name</th>
<th>ID Number</th>
<th>Mobile Number</th>
<th>Team Name</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th></th>
</thead>
</table>
I am trying to hide/show records based on the Status column, using a checkbox. If the status == DEREGISTERED I want to exclude it from the table (unchecked checkbox).
I adapted my code from what was done here:
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(function (oSettings, aData, iDataIndex) {
// does not run this
console.log("GOTHRERE");
if ('agent_search' == oSettings.nTable.id) {
// console.dir(oSettings);
console.dir(aData);
var dereg = aData[5];
console.log(dereg);
if (dereg == "DEACTIVATED"){
return $('#toggle_deregistred').is(':checked');
} else {
return $('#toggle_deregistred').is(':not:checked');
}
}
return true;
});
I have tried using $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering witch is used for custom filtering, only to find that I can not do it. It was once possible in previous versions of dataTables as in this case , but as it turns out it was a bug that allowed it to be possible :|.
Is there a way that I can filter out rows based on if their Status with the use of a checkbox? or is there something in the api I can use that I have over looked?
UPDATE:
I have made a jsfiddle in which it is working, how ever in the process of adapting my code to put it in jsfiddle, I noticed that it is bServerSide that is causing the $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering not to work. Is there a work around or another way to user Server-side processing?
I found an alternate way to the checkbox of hiding/displaying.
I use Bootstrap 3 tabs to apply different filters:
<ul class="nav nav-tabs form-tabs" id="search-tabs">
<li id="basic-list" class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" data-dtname="all" href="#all">All</a></li>
<li class="" id="dereg-list"> <a data-toggle="tab" data-dtname="dereg" href="#dereg">Deregistered</a></li>
</ul>
<br>
<div class="tab-content">
<fieldset id="all" class="tab-pane active">
<table id="agent_search" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<th>Agent ID</th>
<th>Agent Name</th>
<th>ID Number</th>
<th>Mobile Number</th>
<th>Team Name</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th></th>
</thead>
</table>
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="dereg" class="tab-pane ">
<table id="dereg_agent_search" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<th>Agent ID</th>
<th>Agent Name</th>
<th>ID Number</th>
<th>Mobile Number</th>
<th>Team Name</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th></th>
</thead>
</table>
</fieldset>
</div>
I first initialize the table on the first tab all which uses bServerSide=true and for the other table(when I switch to the other tab) I do:
$('#search-tabs a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).tab('show');
if (this.dataset["dtname"] == "all") {
oTable.fnDraw();
} else if (this.dataset["dtname"] == "dereg") {
var data = $("form").serialize();
$.post(
url, data
).success(function(data){
console.log(data.aaData);
kTable = $('#dereg_agent_search').dataTable( {
"sScrollY": "250px",
"data": data.aaData,
"destroy" : true,
"sDom": "<'row'<'col-sm-6'><'col-sm-6'f>r>t<'row'<'col-sm-6'i><'col-sm-6'>>S",

}
},
{
"bSortable": true,
"aTargets": [ 0 ],
"sWidth":"150px",
"mRender": function( data, type, full ){
if (full[5] == "DEACTIVATED"){
return "<a href="+full[6][0]+" class='DEACTIVATED'>"+data+"</a>"
} else{
return ""+data+""
}
}
},
{"aTargets": [ 4 ], "sWidth":"250px" },
{"aTargets": [ 5 ], "bVisible":false},
],
"bDeferRender": true,
"bStateSave": true
} );
});
kTable.fnDraw();
