如何指定数据表中的列数 jQuery 插件

Question

I downloaded datatables jquery plugin, and I tried to reduce the number of columns from the default six to just four , from the html source code. After doing this, when I reload my page, it returned an error: . How do I resolve this???

I have checked datatables website, but I don't really understand how to get this fixed. I'm a newbie in jQuery and this is my first time to use datatables plugin.

Answer 1

The problem in your code is that you are missing a < td > (line 248).

<tr>
  <td>Timothy Mooney</td>
  <td>here is the error</td>
  <td>37</td>
  <td>2008/12/11</td>
</tr>

Here is a working fiddle

Answer 2

You should check datatables documentation: https://www.datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/4

It explained there that

DataTables warning: table id={id} - Requested unknown parameter '{parameter}' for row {row-index}, column{column-index}`

{id} is replaced with the DOM id of the table that has triggered the error {parameter} is the name of the data parameter DataTables is requesting

{row-index} is the DataTables internal row index (row().index()) for the row that has triggered the error.

{column-index} is the column data index (column().index()) for the column that has triggered the error.
