jquery datatable not returning information

Question

Everyone,

I seem to experience a weird issue with datatables in Jquery. I have a page which opens a new window on click. The new page is a datatable. If the page open using my ip address (192.168.1.12) then I get an error message stating that JSON data from the server cannot be parsed.

But it I change the ip address to localhost it works fine.

However, this behaviour does not apply to all the computers. So computers are able to connect to my server and use the IP Address and some give the same error message.

I cannot think as to why this might be happening.

Thanks Saj

Two ways: 1. remove the validation plug-in, 2. upgrade to the very latest validation plug-in code ( https://github.com/bigfix/jquery-validation/commit/9aa53f9241224ba349f9fe1b2c801be0f431b63b ).

There are quite a few discussions on the web about this issue with jQuery 1.5 and the jQuery validation plug-in ( http://www.google.com/#q=jquery+1.5+validate ). Basically it appears that the plug-in wraps and overwrites the $.ajax stuff, thus causing the problem since Ajax for an overhaul in jQuery 1.5.
