Destroy does not remove datatable about datatable HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello,

If I understood you correctly, what you want to do is send a completely new set of data to the datatable?

Did you check the return value of jq1_11_1('#tblResults').datatable('select', 1) ?

When calling the datatable contrusctor, you should use « data » not « insert » to reset the current set of data - If you don't, the plugin uses the current values in the HTML table, which, in your case, are the old entries.

from datatable.

Thank you for responding so soon. I did not want to search for another tool as this project I am working on is coming to a close. Your paging tool is sweet.

Your suggestion is exactly what I was going for. This is what I did per your recommendation.

Code:
try {
if(jq1_11_1('#tblResults').datatable('select', 1) == null)
{
jq1_11_1('#tblResults').datatable('destroy');
}
//data: tableData,
jq1_11_1('#tblResults').datatable({
data: tableData,
pageSize: 50,
sort: [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, false, false, true],
filters: ['select', true, 'select', 'select', 'select', true, 'select', 'select', 'select', true, false, true, true, false, false, true],
filterText: 'Type to filter... '
}) ;
}
catch(err) {
jq1_11_1('#tblResults').datatable({
data: tableData,
pageSize: 50,
sort: [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, false, false, true],
filters: ['select', true, 'select', 'select', 'select', true, 'select', 'select', 'select', true, false, true, true, false, false, true],
filterText: 'Type to filter... '
}) ;
}

If something exists within the select statement I then use the "destroy" command to make it seem like the results keeps "refreshing". It works wonderfully!

I am closing this issue as its fixed! Thanks again! Sweet tool.

Edit: I just realized something. I make it seem like this tool was actually broken, but I just want to clarify I didn't know what commands to use to get me what I needed. The paging tool works just fine. But if I may make a suggestion that the documentation could be updated a bit to say that destroy works well with data and not insert. That's all. Thanks again!
