Question

I want to use jquery dataTables to show something.

It works well when i just put one dataTable in one page, then i add one more, but they occupied almost the same position, and one of them doesn't work well.

Do you know how to deal with that?

OTHER TIPS

It is possible with server side processing. I have it working in a number of locations in my application. You just need to follow the example code for the server side processing multiple times...

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable( {
        "bProcessing": true,
        "bServerSide": true,
        "sAjaxSource": "../examples_support/server_processing.php"
    } );
} );

replacing #example with #id-of-your-table and "sAjaxSource": "../examples_support/server_processing.php" with "sAjaxSource": "url/to/your/server/side/script".

My guess is that you used the .dataTable selector from the multiple tables example. Which will apply the same setup to all tables with the dataTable class.

I'm late to the party but here's the method I ended up using to solve the problem you describe...

$('.testDataTable').each(function() {
        var dataSource = $(this).attr("data-ajaxsource");
        "bProcessing": true,
        "bServerSide": true,
        "sAjaxSource": dataSource
    });
});

You're essentially iterating through your DataTable instances and adding the source set by a data attribute. If you're not familiar with data attributes, they're simply tags applied to an element...

<div id="testDataTable" data-ajaxsource="http://myserver.com/json"></div>

Alternatively, If you don't want to use the HTML5 data attributes, you could use a hidden field within the parent which could be read directly into the sAjaxSource...

$('.testDataTable').each(function() {
        "bProcessing": true,
        "bServerSide": true,
        "sAjaxSource": $(this).children('childElement').html()
    });
});
<table id="table1" class="display"> </table>
<table id="table2" class="display"> </table>
<table id="table3" class="display"> </table>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('table.display').dataTable();
} );

All three tables will be displayed as long as you give the right class

If you have multiple datatables on the single page - check if you are using the following from the examples

"fnServerData": fnDataTablesPipeline

this caches the data from the first call; if the second datatable uses the same function it will see that data has already been fetched and not make the ajax call to retrieve its data. and so you will not receive data to your second(nth) datatable.

Still working on it... but this could be helpful

The script

// global the manage tables 
var manageMemberTable;
//var tbl1 = $('#webdesignTable').DataTable( );

$(document).ready(function() {

     $('table.display').dataTable(); //focus here

    manageMemberTable = $("#webdesignTable").DataTable({
        "ajax": "webdesign_action/retrieve.php", //get data for your tables
        "order": []
    });

    domainregistrationTable = $("#domainregistrationTable").DataTable({
        "ajax": "domainregistration_action/retrieve.php", //get data for your tables
        "order": []
    });
//It continues

select selector by class i have two or more table and i want init all off theme with one config you can set for all table a class such as:

<table class="mytable">
<table class="mytable">
...
...
...

and init theme such as:

    $('.mytable').DataTable({
        order: [[0, "desc"]],
        language: {
            "lengthMenu": "نمایش  _MENU_ ردیف در هر صفحه",
            "zeroRecords": "متاسفیم هیچ کاربری مطابق با اطلاعات درخواست شده یافت نشد",
            "info": "نمایش برگه _PAGE_ از  _PAGES_  از _TOTAL_  کاربر",
            "infoEmpty": "هیچ اطلاعاتی یافت نشد",
            "infoFiltered": "(فیلتر شده از _MAX_ کاربر)",
            "search": "جستجو:",
            "paginate": {
                "first": "نخست",
                "last": "آخرین",
                "next": "بعدی",
                "previous": "قبلی"
            },
        },
    })

HTML such as:

<table id="Table01" class="table"></table>
<table id="Table02" class="table"></table>
<table id="Table03" class="table"></table>
<table id="Table04" class="table"></table>

script such as:

table01 = $("#Table01").DataTable({/* to do somthing... */});
table02 = $("#Table02").DataTable({/* to do somthing... */});
table03 = $("#Table03").DataTable({/* to do somthing... */});
table04 = $("#Table04").DataTable({/* to do somthing... */});
