jsgrid getting started sample does not work

For a project of mine I have to use jsgrid (http://js-grid.com).

To test if how to use jsgrid I wanted to do the "getting started" example (http://js-grid.com/getting-started. My problem, in my opinion I did everything like the example said but it didn't work in the end.

What am I missing?

Here's my code:

Solution

  • Your script code runs before the DOM is ready. I wrapped your script in between:

    $(document).ready(function() {

    and:

    });

    and it ran fine with the table shown. For some explanation, see here.

    jsGrid is a fantastic tool. Unfortunately, it has near zero diagnostics. Something can be wrong, like a simple typo, but there is no indication at all of what is wrong.
