How to add custom warning message to table empty or not find match in jquery datatable

Question

I have 2 data tables that use the same jquery-dataTables-js, because I cannot change it inside the JavaScript file, is there any other way I can change.

I want to set a default error message for my own.

No matches were found - we are not adding anything. There is no data in the table - no data of your choice.

Answer 1

check it out, which sets up your custom posts.

$(document).ready(function() { $('#data_table_id').DataTable( { "language": { "lengthMenu": "Display -- records per page", "zeroRecords": "No matching records found - We don't add anything yet No data available in table - no data of your choice.", "infoEmpty": "No records available" } } ); } ); 

Answer 2

See here http://datatables.net/usage/i18n editing standard text data. Also here is an example http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/language.html

Answer 3

You can also do this in initComplete , as shown below. It is more flexible in terms of adding custom classes and designs.

 "initComplete": function(settings, json) { $('.dataTables_empty').html("<span class='label label-danger'>No records found</span>"); }
