Datatables accessing ajax data issue

Question

Hi I am trying to implement the datatables example and got blocked while accessing sample data.

Here is data tables working example from site

$(document).ready(function() {
    var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
        "ajax": "../ajax/data/objects.txt",
        "columns": [
            {
                "class":          'details-control',
                "orderable":      false,
                "data":           null,
                "defaultContent": ''
            },
            { "data": "name" },
            { "data": "position" },
            { "data": "office" },
            { "data": "salary" }
        ],
        "order": [[1, 'asc']]
    } );

You are using ajax data source from a text file and again want's to show data from javascript source. then you have to try like https://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/js_array.html as sakir suggested there are four data sources for data table. use any of them as per your requirement

//see here

the link you have gave,there are different datasource types

some o them like this.

Data sources

    HTML (DOM) sourced data
    Ajax sourced data
    Javascript sourced data
    Server-side processing

I guess you need to use Javascript sourced data to run your example properlly as you desribe it as a javascript data
