What does the server return in that case? You can see it in the network request in your browser's developer tools. Or if you are having problems with it, drop me a link and I'll take a look. Allan

The income from Editor is what makes it possible for me to continue to develop and freely support community use of DataTables. I hope you won't take it badly if I don't write a free example for you that doesn't help support the work I do :). The DataTables API is fully documented if you want to develop your own editing solution though. Allan
