Tabulator - Can't even get off the ground with Quickstart

Okay, so what am I doing wrong? I'm using the code below from the site under "Quickstart":

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="tabulator/dist/css/tabulator.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabulator/dist/js/tabulator.min.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

<div id="example-table"></div>

<script>
//define some sample data
 var tabledata = [
        {id:1, name:"Oli Bob", age:"12", col:"red", dob:""},
        {id:2, name:"Mary May", age:"1", col:"blue", dob:"14/05/1982"},
        {id:3, name:"Christine Lobowski", age:"42", col:"green", dob:"22/05/1982"},
        {id:4, name:"Brendon Philips", age:"125", col:"orange", dob:"01/08/1980"},
        {id:5, name:"Margret Marmajuke", age:"16", col:"yellow", dob:"31/01/1999"},
 ];

//create Tabulator on DOM element with id "example-table"
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
        height:205, // set height of table (in CSS or here), this enables the Virtual DOM and improves render speed dramatically (can be any valid css height value)
        data:tabledata, //assign data to table
        layout:"fitColumns", //fit columns to width of table (optional)
        columns:[ //Define Table Columns
                {title:"Name", field:"name", width:150},
                {title:"Age", field:"age", align:"left", formatter:"progress"},
                {title:"Favourite Color", field:"col"},
                {title:"Date Of Birth", field:"dob", sorter:"date", align:"center"},
        ],
        rowClick:function(e, row){ //trigger an alert message when the row is clicked
                alert("Row " + row.getData().id + " Clicked!!!!");
        },
});

</script>

</body>
</html>

I'm seeing the column headings, but -- where there should be data -- there is nothing showing up!

tabulator issue

This is my 3rd attempt with this program. I have never gotten it to work correctly. I'd use something else but the examples on the website make it appear I can do what is called for.

Solution

  • You need the polyfills to get it to work on IE 11.

    There is more info in the docs: http://tabulator.info/docs/4.2/browsers#ie
