Jquery script issue in page hosted on Google Drive with Apps Script as source data

Question

I am trying to use jquery and datatables in html hosted on Google Drive. The data for the datatable is to be sourced from an Apps Script using content service. I am working from the datatable examples. The hosted html is:

        <title>JQUERY  DataTables Page  Hosted in Google Drive </title>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    <title>JQUERY  DataTables Page  Hosted in Google Drive </title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.4/css/jquery.dataTables.css">
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.4/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8">

    $(document).ready( function () {
         $('#demo').html( '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example"></table>' );
       $('#example').dataTable( {
          "bServerSide": false,
          "sAjaxSource": "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyFGmeMnn2hlRWe1XHTgcOI4nSyi_HcJOYSg2jfBe8b-5qXPUs2/exec"
        });
     });
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>JQUERY  DataTables Page  Hosted in Google Drive </h1>
    <p>Default dataTable with embedded data</p>
    <p>Includes sorting, paging and filtering by default.</p>
    <p>Entire data table loaded in one hit.</p>
    <div id="demo"></div>

    </body>
    </html>

The script containing the ready function works fine in http://live.datatables.net/ test harness. The apps script is published to anyone , even anonymous. Replacing the apps script call with the actual tables results in working page.

What do I need to do to get this working (possibly cross domain issue?)
Given a solution to the immediate issue ... how should I go about handling authentication for the situation where the data to be tabled is private to the domain or user group

About 1. You should post jsonp request. Because google apps script does not add 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header.

About 2.

Google Apps Script's authentification is always return html page , if user is not logged in.

if you need handle login status , you should handle it on jsonp request.

and if you want to allow accessing only domain or group user , you should set 'me' 'Execute the app as' and check user email address by Session.getActiveUser().getEmail() , but it can only apps account.

it's my similar app, it's using angularjs on clientside,but maybe just become your hint.

Thanks for the pointer and the effort you have made to produce a working example

Use the javascript console (Ctrl + Shift + J in Chrome) to find out what error you are having. Search the error. Get this page. Note that it says you must have a inside your table. Add the following instead of the current table that you have.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Column 1</th>
      <th>Column 2</th>
      <th>Column 3</th>
      <th>Column 4</th>
      <th>Column 5</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Row 1</td>
      <td>Row 2</td>
      <td>Row 3</td>
      <td>Row 4</td>
      <td>Row 5</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

You can use Session.getActiveUser() in your apps script to determine who is running the script, and from there decide whether to return data, or not to return data.
