Summary I'm trying to populate a datatable with a javascript array containing JSON. I'm looping through and creating the array with JSON inide. When I pass this back to the Datatable, it correctly counts the rows, but does not populate them. You can see this in the screen capture below. The data below the table is the array being outputted onto the screen. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CyBGu.png" alt="enter image description here"> Code Snippets <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $('#content').append( ' <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example"></table>' ); $('#example').dataTable({ "aaData" : x, // ARRAY CONTAINING JSON "aoColumns": [ { "sTitle": "ID", "mData" : "ID", sDefaultContent: "n/a" }, { "sTitle": "Status", "mData" : "status", sDefaultContent: "n/a" }, { "sTitle": "Date", "mData" : "date", sDefaultContent: "n/a" } ] }); }); </code></pre> I passed the JSON through <a href="http://jsonlint.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsonlint.com/</a>, which came up fine. Example JSON <pre><code>{"ID":"TEST","status":"TEST","date":"TEST"} </code></pre> Each JSON string in the array represents a row in the datatable. Some Testing Manually putting in the JSON works fine, like so... <pre><code>"aaData" : [ {"ID":"test","status":"test","date":"test"}, {"ID":"test","status":"test","date":"test"}, {"ID":"test","status":"test","date":"test"}, {"ID":"test","status":"test","date":"test"}, ], </code></pre> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HpWUR.png" alt="enter image description here"> Final Thoughts So my array seems to be outputting correctly, and the Datatable seems to take the JSON manually. Somewhere inbetween, it is not working. My thoughts are either on the JSON formatting or the way you pull an array with JSON inside. aaData: doesn't seem to be handling it right. I'll be happy to answer any more questions or post more code/pics. Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
