There certainly is a way to fix this ... but not without your code, a link to a test page or a working test case showing the issue (see forum rules).

It works :) kthorngren I own you a beer or a cafe ;)

Thanks Alan. That fixed the responsive related error.

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Take look at this also stackoverflow.com/questions/44940021/data-table-is-showing-no-data-available-in-table-using-angular

Brilliant. Thank you so much it does work. In case someone else needs it: var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>') .appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty()) .on( 'change', function () { var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex( $(this).val() ); column .search( val ? '^'+val+'.*$' : '', true, false ) .draw(); } ); if(column.index() == 5){ select.append( '<option value="Web">Web%</option>' ) } column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) { select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' ) } ); } ); }

The code in the Column Search with Select example uses a regex search and should search specifically for the value selected. It uses this code: column .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false ) .draw(); How are you searching? Please post a test case replicating the issue so we can see exactly what you have and to offer suggestions. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

Thanks

Also, example here, Colin

OMG, stupid me... thank you!
