I am using: DataTables 1.10.11
I have a Search button on the form that destroys and re-initializes a DataTable to display the results of the latest search. This works fine.
_$('#resultsTable').DataTable().destroy();
$('#resultsTable').DataTable( { ... } );
_
The 1st time I search after coming onto the page, if there are no results, the Empty message is **colspan=0 **and not displayed correctly.
But on all subsequent Searches, for the same no-data empty result, it correctly becomes colspan=N which is the number of columns (in my case 8).
Why is the initial colspan for an empty result incorrect?

It would be helpful if you could post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue. Otherwise, without seeing what you are doing its difficult to say what the problem is.

i think that you are missing some with the reload method, like @kthorngren says it will be usefull a test case for fast debug.
