Research direction

Start at the documented page, https://rstudio.github.io/DT/server.html, and inspect the browser request to https://datatables.net/examples/server_side/scripts/jsonp.php. Confirm whether the empty response causes the AJAX error, then verify that the documentation page loads without it; the issue provides no repository file or test name.

Description

When I visit https://rstudio.github.io/DT/server.html I see the following error message from my browser:

which somewhat decreases my confidence in the robustness of this documentation.

I'm guessing this issue stems from https://datatables.net/examples/server_side/scripts/jsonp.php currently returning an empty file, perhaps?


By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that

  • I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.org/issue/.
  • I have provided the necessary information about my issue.
    • If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there.
    • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('DT'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/DT').
    • If I have posted the same issue elsewhere, I have also mentioned it in this issue.
  • I have learned the Github Markdown syntax, and formatted my issue correctly.

I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.
