I am working on my ASP.Net web application where I need to populate an HTML table with an Ajax data source, for which I use the jQuery DataTables plugin.
HTML code:
<table class="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered display" id="example" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Prctice Group Risk No
</th>
<th>Practice_Group
</th>
<th>Risk_Category
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
JavaScript Code:
$('#example').DataTable({
"ajax": {
"dataType": 'json',
"contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
"type": "POST",
"url":"index.aspx/Risky"
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "Prctice_Group_Risk_No" },
{ "data": "Practice_Group" },
{ "data": "Risk_Category" }]
});
And here is my web method I am calling to get a JSON response of a list of objects
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod]
public static string Risky()
{
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(riskList);
}
JSON response from server:
d:"[{"Prctice_Group_Risk_No":1,"Practice_Group":"M&A","Risk_Category":"Conflicts of Interests"},{"Prctice_Group_Risk_No":2,"Practice_Group":"abc","Risk_Category":"Client Care and Communication"}]
The JSON response returned seems to me fine, as described on the official jQuery DataTables
website http://www.datatables.net/examples/ajax/objects.html
But the data is not populated in the table, and I get the following error in the Firebug console
TypeError: f is undefined
