When using the examples from the docs, it always shows "Loading, please wait...". The data loads correctly and the table displays properly, other than this message not going away.
I am having the same problem, had to add "data-url='x'" as a temporary fix.
Can you provide a jsFiddle?
seems to be missing css file..
my problem was in production build
Maybe you missing css file just like @thiagof said. There is no problem in these examples: http://issues.wenzhixin.net.cn/bootstrap-table/#options/from-html.html and http://issues.wenzhixin.net.cn/bootstrap-table/#options/from-data.html
Had the same problem. This helped me! It was bootstrap-table.css missing to include. Thank you
have the same issue and the css is well loaded

Same issues still! I have downloaded the min files and still does not work!
add; data-url="#myTable" and ok
Same issue. I have tried everything all of you said here and the problem persists. If I inspect the code the data is there, but the load message doesn't disappear

This is probably a CSS issue. Please make sure your importing the CSS file and it is in the correct order
