if datatable is empty then it should show "No data available in table." by default , but it's not ?

I tried by many was but not succeded.
$('#example').dataTable({
"oLanguage": {
"sEmptyTable": "My Custom Message On Empty Table"
}
});
Also
$('#example').dataTable( {
"language": {
"emptyTable": "No data available in table"
}
} );

Also
$('#example').dataTable( {
"language": {
"infoEmpty": "No entries to show"
}
} );
Nothing worked !

Your first code snippet is using legacy for of the options. See the Legacy Conversion Guide for details. But it does work here:

The second and third code snippets work also. I combined them in this example:

Please post a link to your page or a test case showing the issue so we can help debug.

            "lengthChange": true,
            bFilter: false, bInfo: false,

        scrollX: true,
        scrollY: 500   
        });

oLanguage is the legacy form of the legacy option. You can only have one of them. One will overwrite the other.

As I said we will need to see the problem to help debug. My examples show the options work so it is something specific to your solution.
