Questions on functionality for realtime data tables.

TJ14

I have set up a simple datatable that takes in an ajax source and calls the fnAjaxReload incrementally. However every time the table reloads a processing message flashes across the screen. Is there a built in way to remove this processing message for every reload? It doesn't make since to use datatable for a realtime function if every second the processing banner is flashing across the table.

Set processing to false like so:

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
    processing: false

Thanks for the quick response, but the problem persists. Here is my code, if you can see anything else wrong.

        $(document).ready(function () {
            var table = $('#myDataTable').DataTable({
                autoWidth: false,
                bProcessing: true,
                sAjaxSource: '@Url.Action("GetDropData", "Drops")',
                processing: false,

                "columns":
                [
                    { "width": "10%" },
                    { "width": "50%" },
                    { "width": "40%" }
                ]
            });
            
            setInterval(function () {

                table.ajax.reload(null, false); // user paging is not reset on reload

            }, 3000);

        });

I just realized I had the bProcessing set to true. Thanks for the tip ignignokt.

bProcessing and processing are basically the same thing with a (slightly) different name. processing is the preferred method, but the legacy bProcessing option will override it if specified.
