 * With a certain point stopped working a sign in the tables DataTable.
    DataTable
   is enabled: [http://funkyimg.com/i/2be29.png](http://funkyimg.com/i/2be29.png)
   But the option is not working at the table: [http://funkyimg.com/i/2be28.png](http://funkyimg.com/i/2be28.png)
   Tell me what could be the problem?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That table is using combined cells (`#colspan#`). Unfortunately, the DataTables
   JS library does not support tables that have this 🙁
    You will have to decide
   what is more important. Having both is not possible, I’m afraid.

 * I believe the problem is not in this (earlier in this table all worked).
 * I also have other tables (without #colspan) and they also did not work DataTables
   JS library.
    Example: [http://mda-tech.ru/video-input-lexus/](http://mda-tech.ru/video-input-lexus/)
 * I guess it stopped working after “Translation update”, although I could be wrong.

 * Hi,
 * that table is using `#rowspan#`, which is also not supported.
 * The reason really is the combined/merged cells. The external DataTables JS library
   simply does not support this :-/

 * Well … I divided the table into two parts.
    From the second deleted all #colspan#
   and #rowspan#. Page problem with the table: [http://mda-tech.ru/shipping-and-payment/](http://mda-tech.ru/shipping-and-payment/)
   All early does not work) What could be my problem?

 * Hi,
 * you still have DataTables activated for table 13, which causes a JS error.
    You
   must uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox for that table.
