It appears TableJX doesn't like MySQL database field names with dashes/hyphens in them.

I spent several hours debugging one table that wouldn't display any data at all, while other tables displayed okay.

The problem was a dash (- hyphen character) in the field name. I used phpMyAdmin to replace it with an underscore (_ character) and it worked okay after that.

Maybe something to add to the list for the next revision?

You should avoid using dashes in column names also according to many books about DBs.

Joe Celko - SQL For Smarties (page 6)
"Standard SQL allows you to use spaces, reserved words, and
special characters in a name if you enclose them in double
quotation marks, but this should be avoided as much as
possible."

There are several reasons, just one could be:

select a-b
from table

- (minus) is normally used for operator

Good advice. It's just not the way my data happened to be delivered, and it took awhile to figure out the problem.

It might be useful to make a note in the documentation that dashes are not supported/recommended by TableJX and must be changed, even if your MySQL database does support them.
