Your second code block should work with myDataTable.load() but it your case you are sending in a "null" request object which only works with local data (i.e. LocalDataSource). If you are using remote data this won't work.

I worked up a jsfiddle that shows delayed loading of local data works at http://jsfiddle.net/blunderalong/gvFBm/.

If you are using remote data, the load command expects a configuration object that includes {request:'your request string here...', callback: callback_obj}. This is probably why your last code snippet didn't work, you had a malformed argument.

Most of us use myDataSource.sendRequest( ... parameters ...) to load or reload remote data in a DT.

... I still recommend you read the API and other references I mentioned in your other posting, this stuff is well-documented!

I'll let others chime in if you don't like what I am telling you! ....

BTW I am using a YAHOO.util.LocalDataSource. This still does not work, event though I am not passing null as the datasource:

I dont have editors or formatters defined, so that could not have been an issue, so I followed your advice and used FireBug to see where the issue is:

respondToReadyState() is throwing an Exception with message "TypeError: calibrationRequest.dataTable.load is not a function".

There must be a simple stupid mistake somewhere

This thread is probably getting a little long. If you want to provide a pastie link or jsfiddle or gist to your full code somebody can look it over for you. (it's not good to clog up this forum with large code blocks!).

Also you can go on the IRC chat freenode.net the #yui channel and ask questions there live.

BTW, YUI 2.6.0 is pretty ancient !
