Bug in DT 1.8beta

UPEngineer

Allan,

Not sure if this has been discussed yet. I know I brought it up before you release the 1.8 beta.

It appears the DataTables_sort_wrapper is broken (at least for me). The sort icons do not show up unless I enable bSortClasses:true.

I do not need the Sort Classes enabled to help speed things up.

Is this the normal behaviour or a possible oversight?

Version 1.7.6 works.
Version 1.8beta 1 is broken.

I ahven't tried beta 2 yet.

Thanks,
Scott

It seems to work okay for me if I do this:

[code]
$(document).ready(function() {
oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bSortClasses": false
});
} );
[/code]
Can you post a link to your example which doesn't work and I'll see if I can get a fix in for the next beta (which I hope to get out soon).

Allan,

I narrowed it down.

If bSortClasses are set to false and bDeferRender is set to true, then the sort icons are not displayed (at least in my testing so far.)

As more info Allan.

When bDeferRender is set to true is adds span class Datatables_sort_icon.

However, when bDeferRender is set to false, it adds span class Datatables_sort_icon but it also adds css_right ui-icon ui-icon-carat-2-n-s to it as well.

Is this the normal behaviour or is DT not picking something up?

Thanks for the extra info. You are quite right - there was a bug in the 1.8 beta 1 release which resulted in this behaviour. I've just committed a fix, and you can grab it in the latest nightly - or the next beta which should be fairly soon.

That did the trick. Thanks Allan.
