Hi All,
I hope smb can help ... Struggling with this for a couple of hrs now ...
I'm trying to add an empty column to the left of a datatable ... (later on ... an "edit" button will be placed in this column... )
Everything works fine, as long as I'm putting "data" in the left-most column. As soon as I'm replacing the data-col (in this case... "ID" ... with data:null and defaultContent:'' ... I get an AJAX error (see also JS source code...
Thanks in advance for your help !!!!
Regards,
Johnny Belgium

My JS Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#example').DataTable( {
serverSide: true,
processing: true,
start : 0,
length : 5,
PaginationType: 'full_numbers',
lengthMenu: [[5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, 'All']],
columnDefs: [
{
"targets": 0,
"data": "id",
// My problem occurs when
// commenting the "data": = "id" line and uncommenting the 2 lines below,
// results in an AJAX error
// "data": null,
// "defaultContent": '',
},
{
"targets": 1,
"data": "id"
},
{
"targets": 2,
"data": "name"
},
{
"targets": 3,
"data": "description"
}
],
ajax: {
url: 'http://localhost:8081/bs/rooms/datatable',
type: 'POST'
},
} );
</script>
In case it would help ... this is my JSON data:
{"draw":0,"recordsTotal":6,"recordsFiltered":6,"data":[{"id":"1","name":"Room 01","description":"Descr 01"},{"id":"2","name":"Room 02","description":"Descr 02"},{"id":"3","name":"Room 03","description":"Descr 03"},{"id":"4","name":"Room 04","description":"Desc 04"},{"id":"5","name":"Room 05","description":"Descr 05"},{"id":"6","name":"Room 06","description":"Descr 06"}]}
Thanks !!
