How can I prevent the jquery dataTable plugin from adding row and message when there is no data

Question

Our product owner would like the our empty tables to display just table header when there is no data in table. I can\'t seem to prevent dataTable from creating a row with \"

Answer 1

try this

$('#InBox').dataTable({
  "bFilter": false,
   "bPaginate": false,
   "bLengthChange": false,
   "bInfo": false,
   "oLanguage": {
    "sEmptyTable": '',
    "sInfoEmpty": ''
   },
   "sEmptyTable": "There are no records",
 });

otherwise you can try this

$('#InBox').dataTable({
  "bFilter": false,
   "bPaginate": false,
   "bLengthChange": false,
   "bInfo": false,
   "oLanguage": {
    "sEmptyTable": '',
    "sInfoEmpty": ''
   }
 });
$('.dataTables_empty').html("No record found.");
