TypeError DataTable is not a function

0 votes

I am working on jQuery's Datatable JS for my project and I downloaded the complete library. But when I tried to incorporate them in WebForms, the CSS, and JS do not work at all.

Here is what I have done till now :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

    <title></title>

    <link href="css/jquery.dataTables.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <table id="myTable" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

            <thead>

                <tr>

                    <th>Name</th>

                    <th>Position</th>

                    <th>Office</th>

                    <th>Age</th>

                    <th>Start date</th>

                    <th>Salary</th>

                </tr>

            </thead>

            <tfoot>

                <tr>

                    <th>Name</th>

                    <th>Position</th>

                    <th>Office</th>

                    <th>Age</th>

                    <th>Start date</th>

                    <th>Salary</th>

                </tr>

            </tfoot>

            <tbody>

               <!-- table body -->

            </tbody>

        </table>

    </div>

    <script src="js/jquery.dataTables.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function () {

            $('#myTable').DataTable();

        });

    </script>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

I have done everything as in the manual but still, the rendering isn't as expected. and in the console I get the following errors:

ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

TypeError: $(...).DataTable is not a function

Can someone please guide me in the right direction for this problem ?

This happened because the jQuery DataTables library is missing or the jQuery library is loaded after jQuery DataTables. This can be solved by including only one version of the jQuery library version 1.7 or newer.

For example:

<script src="js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

For more info:  jQuery DataTables: Common JavaScript console errors.

I hope this helps.
