Correctly Suppressing Warnings in DataTables?

Question

I\'m trying to correctly suppress warnings (alerts) in DataTables. The standard behavior of DataTables is to throw a javascript alert when an error occurs; however, this is

As of DataTables version 1.10.15, you can set $.fn.dataTableExt.errMode to 'ignore' and it will silently ignore the error messages:

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.fn.dataTableExt.errMode = 'ignore';
    });

_fnLog DataTables function has the following code :

        if ( type == 'alert' ) {
            alert( msg );
        }
        else if ( type == 'throw' ) {
            throw new Error(msg);
        }
        else if ( typeof type == 'function' ) {
            type( settings, tn, msg );
        }

The default value is 'alert' which is problematic.

You can also set to 'throw'. It will create javascript error, but will not do disturb the user.

'ignore' or any other values will just sliently skip the error.
