    $(document).ready(function () {
     $("#example").dataTable({
         "bProcessing": true,
         "sAjaxSource": "/admin/vskuStatusUid?uploadId=" + $('#UID').val(),
         "aoColumns": [{
             "mData": "uid"
         }, {
             "mData": "vcode"
         }, {
             "mData": "vsku"
         }, {
             "mData": "timeStamp"
         }, {
             "mData": "state"
         }, {
             "mData": "counter"
         }]
     });
 });

{
    "aaData": [
        {
            "uid": "UID0000007017",
            "vcode": "927ead",

• javascript
• datatable

• Is this just an extract of your json response? Because it should look something like this: {"sEcho":5,"iTotalRecords":"366","iTotalDisplayRecords":"1","aaData":[["UID0000007017","927ead","63739","Prateek1000","1391158258658","VENDOR_PRODUCT_PERSISTENCE_COMPLETED","2"]]} – mainguy Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 12:42

you dont need to write the columns in the html, dataTable does it for you. the only html you need is <table id="example"></table>

i think there error is the you insert data partially or trying to get data from unexisted row in the table.

here is a possible fix :

after you grab the data you got and parse it to object. you can do something like this:

var table = $("#example").dataTable({
         "bProcessing": true,
         "sAjaxSource": "/admin/vskuStatusUid?uploadId=" + $('#UID').val(),
         "aoColumns": [{
             "mData": "uid"
         }, {
             "mData": "vcode"
         }, {
             "mData": "vsku"
         }, {
             "mData": "timeStamp"
         }, {
             "mData": "state"
         }, {
             "mData": "counter"
         }]
     });

for (var i=0; i< ParsedObject.length; i++) {
    var temp_item = ParsedObject[i]; //new row data
    table.fnAddData(temp_item.uid, temp_item.vcode, temp_item.vsku, temp_item.timeStamp, temp_item.state, temp_item.counter); //adds new row to datatable
}
