Question

So I have a datatable that is being populated by user inputs. When I enter the screen (before I submit anything) I dont throw any warnings in firebug. After I enter something into the table and submit. I automatically get returned to the same page, only the table has my submitted information in it. At this point is when I am getting the error. Here it is:

DataTables warning (table id = 'table'): Unexpected number of TD elements. Expected 5
and got 6. DataTables does not support rowspan / colspan in the table body, and there 
must be one cell for each row/column combination.

Seems obvious, but I dont have rowspan or colspan on my table. So I dont know what the problem is. Also, here is my setup for the datatable:

 var table1 = {};
 table1 = O_LANGUAGE = {sEmptyTable: "There is nothing here."};

        $(document).ready(function() {
      var $table= $("#table");
    $table.dataTable({
      "aaSorting": [ [0,'desc'] ], "oLanguage" : bsFaReq.O_LANGUAGE, "bLengthChange": false, "bFilter": false, "bAutoWidth": false, "bInfo": false, "bPaginate": false
      });

OKay, so it runs fine, but I cant put it out until I get this warning fixed, any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

It’s because the there are 5 columns in Your table but data is sent for 6.
