I’m having a strange issue that’s only arising in my dataTable in select environments. I’ve written a function that allows the user to delete a row, then if it’s the last row on that particular page, reload the Table and send the user to the ‘new’ last page.
However, on some servers, it’s not working properly — I think it has to do with the fact that with after using fnClearTable and fnDraw, the pagination of the table still holds the last ’empty’ page.
Here’s the function I’m working with now:
function fnDelete(elem) {
if (selected.length > 0) {
var c;
c = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete the selected Agency?");
if (c) {
var deleteURL = urlstr.substring(0, urlstr.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) + "delete.do";
deleteRecord(deleteURL, selected[0]);
if ($(".tableViewer tbody tr:visible").length === 1) {
oTable.fnClearTable();
oTable.fnDraw();
oTable.fnPageChange("last");
}}}}
In addition, here’s my delet function.
function deleteRecord(deleteURL, iid){
var didDelete = false;
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: deleteURL,
dataType:"html",
data:"recordID="+iid,
async : false,
success:function(response){
didDelete = true;
oTable.fnDraw(true);
selected = [];
selectedRecord = [];
enableButtons(selected);
},
error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
<%-- is the message in a range we can handle? --%>
if ((xhr.status >=400) && (xhr.status < 500)) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
else {
alert('<spring:message arguments="" text="Internal Server Error" code="ajax.internal.server.error"/>');
}
}
});
return didDelete;
}
Again, this issue is only coming up on certain computers. Can anyone help?
Also, here’s the configuration for my DataTable::
oTable = $('#${tableName}_grid').dataTable({

],

fnRowCallback: function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex ) {

}
var htxt = '';
$(this).find('.color').filter(function(i,tdata){

htxt = '#'+($(tdata).text());
return true;

$(this).dblclick( function(){
var iPos = myPos = oTable.fnGetPosition(this);

$(".${tableName}_bttns > span.edit-doubleclick:not(.disabld)").first().click();
});
$(this).click( function () {
var iPos = myPos = oTable.fnGetPosition(this);<%-- row index on_this_page --%>
var aData = oTable.fnGetData(iPos);
var iId = aData[0];
var is_in_array = $.inArray(iId, selected);

if (is_in_array==-1) {
selected.push(iId);
selected.sort(function(a,b){return a-b});

}
else {
selected = $.grep(selected, function(value) {
return value != iId;
});
selectedRecord = $.grep(selectedRecord, function(value) {

});
}
if ( $(this).hasClass('row_selected') ) {

}
else {

$(this).addClass('row_selected');
}
enableButtons(selectedRecord);
});
});
} ,

});
$('#${tableName}_grid_filter input').attr("maxlength", "255").attr("size", "35");
$('#${tableName}_grid').ready(function(){
$(".DTTT_containerc").remove();
BuildToolBarButtons();
var tt;
$(".DTTT_containerc").each(function(){
tt = $(this).find("#Print").attr("title");
$(this).find("#Print").remove();
$(this).find(".DTTT_container").remove();
}

$(".DTTT_containerc").append($(".DTTT_container").removeAttr("style"));
});
});
Thought I’d write a response to help others to show how I fixed it.
@Gavin was correct in that it was in the wrong place — I moved the function in question to the sucess callback in AJAX. However, to fix it fully, I had to ‘premptively’ read what page the deletion was happening on (using fn.PageChange plugin), subtract 1 (bc DataTables is zero-based) and send the user there.
Hope this helps anyone! @Gavin, thank you for your help and for leading me int he right direction!
