Datatable not apply on dynamically created table using MVC

I am having issue with datatable in mvc application mvc has one common layout that is master page (Layout Page)
I have implement datatable commonly in master page (Layout page) that apply to all child pages
now , I am stuck with one challenge that is some tables are created dynamically on comobo box selection
Layout Page
$('.table').DataTable({
"aoColumnDefs": [
{
bSortable: false,
aTargets: [-1], /* 1st one, start by the right */
"defaultContent": "",
}
],
"fixedHeader": true,
"lengthChange": false,
"bPaginate": false,
"responsive": true,
"autoWidth": false,
"scrollY": "300px",
"scrollCollapse": true,
"paging": false,
initComplete: function (settings, json) {
this.api().columns().header().each(function (th) {
$(th).removeClass("sorting_asc");
$(th).removeClass("sorting");
}
)
},
});
Child (Partial View)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<br />
<div id="example"></div>
</div>
</div>
function GetEmails() {
var tbl = $('#example');
$.ajax({
url: '/test/GetTestData',
contentType: 'application/html ; charset:utf-8',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'html'
}).success(function (result) {
tbl.empty().append(result);
}).error(function (result) {
alert("Fail");
});
}
Now , I have issue that
tbl.empty().append(result);
after append table in div , datatable not apply on this table, I am wondering that how can I able to notify in Layout page that table is append in child page
Let me know , there is any event in javascript or jquery that fire after append or something ??
Thanks in advance

Try this,
Its working
function ApplyDataTable()
{
$('#example').bind('DOMNodeInserted', function (event) {
if (event.type == 'DOMNodeInserted')
{
//Datatable for search and sorting
$(currntTable).DataTable({
"aoColumnDefs": [
{
bSortable: false,
aTargets: [-1], /* 1st one, start by the right */
"defaultContent": "",
}
],
"fixedHeader": true,
"lengthChange": false,
"bPaginate": false,
"responsive": true,
"autoWidth": false,
"scrollY": "300px",
"scrollCollapse": true,
"paging": false,
});
}
});
}

You can initialize datatable in success of ajax something like this,
$('.Table').DataTable();
But if you really want to add the datatable from layout only, then this should be helpful
$(document).ajaxComplete(function (event, xhr, settings) {
$('.Table').DataTable();
});

DataTable cannot click the button after pagination

I have done a datatable and custom it's data but when i click the button on the first column, it only works on the first page and cannot click on other forward pages.
$('#tbl').DataTable( {
responsive: true,
data: data1,
autoWidth: false,
"order": [[ 7, "asc" ]],
"iDisplayLength": 5,
"pagingType": "full_numbers",
"dom": '<"top">rt<"bottom"p><"clear">',
"oLanguage": {
"sEmptyTable": "Not Record"
},
"columnDefs": [
{ "visible": false, "targets": [ 6,7,8 ] }
],
"columns": [
{},{"sClass": "dt-body-justify"},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}
]
} );
BUT when for the click function in live mode, it still cannot work
$('#tbl tbody tr #edit_current_product').delegate('a', 'click', function () {
.......
} );

id's must be unique. We dont know your markup but
$('#tbl tbody tr #edit_current_product').delegate('a', 'click', function ()
seems utterly wrong. Either you have multiple <a>'s with the same id #edit_current_product or the right thing actually happens, you have paginated away from the page where #edit_current_product is present.
I guess that what you really want is
$('#tbl').on('click', 'tbody tr a', function()
or use a class instead of an id
$('#tbl').on('click', 'tbody tr .edit_current_product', function()
BTW, why
"columnDefs": [
{ "visible": false, "targets": [ 6,7,8 ] }
],
"columns": [
{},{"sClass": "dt-body-justify"},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}
]
you just need
"columnDefs": [
{ "visible": false, "targets": [ 6,7,8 ] },
{ "sClass": "dt-body-justify", targets : [1] }
]

Reload dataTables after button click

I'm sure there are a few (better) ways to do this, but I can't get any way to work. I'm trying to have datatables load new data (from different data source) when a button is clicked.
Here's what I have:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#datatable2').dataTable( {
"ajax": {
"url":"simple4.php",
"type":"GET"
} ,
"paging": true,
"pageLength": 20,
"order": [[ 2, "asc" ]],
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": false, "width": "25%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "30%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": false, "width": "0%", "visible":false },
],
});
$( "#option2" ).click(function() {
table.ajax.url( 'simple3.php' ).load();
});
});
The initial table (from simple4.php) loads fine. I'd like it to change when I click on a button (with id=option2 in this case), but nothing happens when I click the button.
Just in case, here's the button code in case I'm missing something obvious:
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option2" value="1" autocomplete="off"> Compare 1 and 2
</label>
Not sure what the issue is. Any insight would be helpful.
UPDATE: see answers below explanation of the issue. One thing I didn't do, which apparently makes a major difference is using "dataTable" versus "DataTable". You need a capital D and capital T. Here's the fixed code that's working now:
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $("#datatable2").DataTable({
"ajax": {
"url":"simple3.php",
"type":"GET"
} ,
"paging": true,
"pageLength": 20,
"order": [[ 2, "asc" ]],
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": false, "width": "25%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "30%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": true, "width": "15%" },
{ "bSortable": false, "width": "0%", "visible":false },
],
});
$( "#option2" ).click(function() {
table.ajax.url( "simple4.php" ).load();
});
});
One more thing...my function that was supposed to fire when I clicked on my radio button wasn't working. Had to change from this:
$( "#option2" ).click(function() {
table.ajax.url( "simple4.php" ).load();
});
To this:
$('input[id=option2]').change(function(){
table.ajax.url( "simple4.php" ).load();
});

First, as the others have said the variable 'table' is not set.
Second, when you call
var table = $('#datatable2').dataTable({.....})
You are returning a jQuery object that won't have access to any of the DataTables API
To get a DataTables API instance you need to make a call like this:
var table = $('#datatable2').DataTable({....});
This should work, assuming that your data returned by your url is properly formed.
Source: https://datatables.net/faqs/#api

I can't try this now, but I think it gonna work:
var table = $('#datatable2').dataTable({...});
$( "#option2" ).click(function() {
table.ajax.url( 'simple3.php' ).load();
});
you are not setting var table = ... so when you call table.ajax... table var does not exists

How to remove the next/previous tabs after the jQuery dataTable initialized from jSON?

A jQuery table is initialized from jSON
I know that it will be only one row, so I do not need to show the next/previous tabs after the table. Nevertheless they are displayed.
Is there any way of removing them?
The code for the table:
table = $("#retrievedTable").dataTable({
"bServerSide" : true,
"sAjaxSource" : "/cm/credit/getretrievedTable.json",
"fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) {
aoData.push( { "name": "orderNumber", "value": $( "#orderNumberInput" ).val() } );
},
"bProcessing" : true,
"bInfo" : false,
"bRetrieve" : true,
"bDestroy" : true,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"bLengthChange": false,
"iDisplayLength": 20,
"aoColumnDefs": [{
"mRender": function ( data, type, row ) {
return moment(data).format("MM/DD/YYYY");
},
"aTargets": [ 0 ],
"bPaginate": false
}]
});

The only answer I can come up with is to hide it instead of removing it. You can do this by adding this to your css:
.dataTables_paginate {
display: none;
}
I've tried it with the example on the website. The css class was found on this page.

Datatables : disable first next previous last and show / search record when processing

I am using Datatables 1.9 version
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"oLanguage": {"sSearch": "Search all columns:",
"sLengthMenu": "Display <select><option value='100'>100</option><option value='200'>200</option></select> records per page"
},
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bAutoWidth": false,
"iDisplayStart": 0,
"iDisplayLength": 2000,
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": true,
"bSort": true,
"sScrollX": "100%",
"sScrollY": "500px",
"bScrollCollapse": true,
"bPaginate": true,
"bSortClasses": true,
"bLengthChange": true,
"bProcessing": true,
"bDestroy": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"bDeferRender": true,
"fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) {
aoData.push( { "name": "form_data", "value": data } );
},
"sAjaxSource": "search.py",
"fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
$.ajax( {
"dataType": 'json',
"type": "POST",
"url": sSource,
"data": aoData,
"success": function (json)
{
fnCallback(json);
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:$(document).height()}, 'slow');
document.getElementById("bottom").focus();
},
"error": function (xhr, error, thrown) {
alert("An Error Occurred.!");
}
});
The issue is that when I run the search and datatables renders "Processing ..." text the "Show .. Search" and first next previous and last button also gets displayed. Is there a way that I defer there display when datatabales has processed or received response from backend.

You should include "bPaginate": false, into the configuration object you pass to your constructor parameters.
As seen here.
as it is data table

I didn't understand your question completly. If you want to hide those controlls you may try this..
Datatables comes with controls for filtering and pagination. These can be shown and hidden in a couple of ways (all examples in coffeescript):
Way 1
$("#myTable").dataTable
"bPaginate": false, #hide pagination control
"bFilter": false #hide filter control
Way 2: Use the "sDom" prop
$("#myTable").dataTable
"aaData": data
"sDom": 'ft'
Here 'f' means filter and 't' means table, so only show those. Order matters: 'ft' puts
the filter on top, whereas 'tf' will put it on bottom.
For more complex and other widgets, see Ref
Ref: http://datatables.net/usage/options#sDom
I got the answer from this link : https://gist.github.com/1568446

//Hide DataTables Length
<style>.dataTables_length {
display: none;
}
</style> //Hide Pagination
<style>.pagination {
display: none;
}
</style> //Hide DataTables Info
<style>.dataTables_info {
display: none;
}
</style>
This will work,but i am not recommending this

Note that this answer is consistent with version DataTables 1.13.1
This is all set with the arguments object given to initialize the table
const myTable = $('#example').dataTable( args );
To avoid Next / Previous / First / Last buttons on pagination:
const args = {pagingType: "numbers"};
Find here the 6 choices available for pagingType property
To show/hide the searching box:
const args = {searching: true/false};
I hope this helps
