I am trying to work with jQuery's Datatable JS for my project from this link.
I downloaded the complete library from the same source. All the examples given in the package seem to work fine, but when I try to incorporate them in my WebForms,the CSS,JS do not work at all.
Here is what I have done :
<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>
My file structure for the JS and CSS in my Solution looks as follows :
I have added all the necessary JS and CSS references as shown in the manual. Still the rendering isn't as expected. There is no CSS and even the JS doesn't work.
Also in the console i get the following errors:
ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
TypeError: $(...).DataTable is not a function
I have still not bound any dynamic data here (like within a repeater or so) still it is not working.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction for this problem ?
CAUSE
There could be multiple reasons for this error.
jQuery DataTables library is missing.
jQuery library is loaded after jQuery DataTables.
Multiple versions of jQuery library is loaded.
SOLUTION
Include only one version of jQuery library version 1.7 or newer before jQuery DataTables.
For example:
<script src="js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
See jQuery DataTables: Common JavaScript console errors for more information on this and other common console errors.
This worked for me. But make sure to load the jquery.js before the preferred dataTable.js file. Cheers!
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/data-table/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script>$(document).ready(function () {
$.noConflict();
var table = $('# your selector').DataTable();
});</script>
I got this error because I found out that I referenced jQuery twice.
The first time: on the master page (_Layout.cshtml) in ASP.NET MVC, and then again on one current page so I commented out the one on the master page.
If you are using ASP.NET MVC this snippet could help you
#*#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")*#//comment this line
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
and in the current page I added these lines
<script src="~/scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<!-- #region datatables files -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" />
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<!-- #endregion -->
Hope this help you even if don't use ASP.NET MVC
if some reason two versions of jQuery are loaded (which is not recommended), calling $.noConflict(true) from the second version will return the globally scoped jQuery variables to those of the first version.
Sometimes it could be issue with older version (or not stable) of JQuery files
Solution use $.noConflict();
<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.dataTables.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$.noConflict();
jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) {
$('#myTable').DataTable();
});
// Code that uses other library's $ can follow here.
</script>
Here is the complete set of JS and CSS required for the export table plugin to work perfectly.
Hope it will save your time

});
Result :-
Same error occurs when working with DataTables in a Laravel project. Even if the following solutions are tried, the error still remains:
making sure jQuery is included
include jQuery before including the DataTables
making sure only one version of jQuery is added
In order to remove the error, after making sure the above conditions are fulfilled, add "defer" to the tag which includes the DataTables. For example,
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.23/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" defer></script>
There can be two reasons for that error:
First
You are loding jQuery.DataTables.js before jquery.js so for that :-
You need to load jQuery.js before you load jQuery.DataTables.js
Second
You are using two versions of jQuery.js on the same page so for that :-
Try to use the higher version and make sure both links have same version of jQuery
I tried many things but my solution was adding "defer" after html script that you included datatables.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.25/js/jquery.dataTables.js" defer></script>
Honestly, this took hours to get this fixed. Finally only one thing worked a reconfirmation to solution provided by "Basheer AL-MOMANI". Which is just putting statement
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
within _Layout.cshtml file after all <script></script> elements and also commenting the jquery script in the same file. Secondly, I had to add
$.noConflict();
within jquery function call at another *.cshtml file as:
$(document).readyfunction () {
$.noConflict();
$("#example1").DataTable();
$('#example2').DataTable({
"paging": true,
"lengthChange": false,
"searching": false,
"ordering": true,
"info": true,
"autoWidth": false,
});
});
I know its late

This could also happen if you don't add $('#myTable').DataTable(); inside the document.ready
So instead of this
$('#myTable').DataTable();
Try This
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myTable').DataTable();
});
I have Added defer to the data table jquery library reference. Now it is working for me.
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.dataTables.min.js" defer></script>
I ran into this error also. For whatever reason I had originally coded
var table = $('#myTable').DataTable({
"paging": false,
"order": [[ 4, "asc" ]]
});
This would not throw the error sometimes and other times it would. By changing code to
$('#myTable').DataTable({
"paging": false,
"order": [[ 4, "asc" ]]
});
Error appears to have stopped
In my case the solution was to delete cookies from the browser.
Having the same issue in Flask, I had already a template that loaded JQuery, Popper and Bootstrap. I was extending that template into other template that I was using as a base to load the page that had the table.
For some reason in Flask apparently the files in the outer template load before the files in the tables above in the hierarchy (the ones you are extending) so JQuery was loading before the DataTables files causing the issue.
I had to create another template where I run all my imports of JS CDNs in the same place, that solved the issue.
Sometimes it happens that the script (initializing of datatable) is embedded in a general page template, so if one of the pages that actually does not have any table and you did not import the jquery related files for datatable, you face this error, since the general initialization still is looking for that. (This was in my case)
Solution: Is to wrap the initialization of datatable inside a codition that check presence of the library before that:
Here is practical example of it.
if (typeof jQuery.fn.DataTable != "undefined"){
$('#accordionExample table').DataTable( {
"pageLength": 5,
"info": false,
"order": [[ 1, "desc" ]]
} );
}
This may also happen if you write Datatable instead of DataTable. (DataTable T must be capital). this is a beginner's mistake.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#category-table').DataTable({
// Your Code
});
if you are sure that you aligned your scripts as described above, please make sure you DataTable word case is correct.
Before
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myTable').Datatable();
});
After
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myTable').DataTable();
});
small t is creating problem, when I changed this t to T it worked like a charm.
I need to initialize the VSS.SDK from a .ts class (outside the html page). I have analyzed some examples from Microsoft and all are initialize under html page.Is it possible to do this outside html page?
You can refer to this link for details: Visual Studio Services Web Extension SDK.
Types
Types of VSS.SDK.js, controls and client services are available in typings/vss.d.ts.
REST Client types for VSTS are available in typings/tfs.d.ts
REST Client and extensibility types for Release Management are available in typings/rmo.d.ts
Using tsd
Although TypeScript declare files do not exist at DefinitelyTyped repo, they can still be used through tsd.
First, make sure that the dependencies are loaded using below
command:
tsd install jquery knockout q --save
Next, run below command to get
vss-web-extension-sdk types added to tsd.d.ts:
tsd link
Finally, add only reference to typings/tsd.d.ts in your
TypeScript files.
Yes, you could to do it outside the html and put it in the JavaScript file or other (e.g. ts), then add the reference to corresponding JS file to the html page.
For example:
VSS.init();
$(document).ready(function () {
VSS.notifyLoadSucceeded();
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello word</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script src="node_modules/vss-web-extension-sdk/lib/VSS.SDK.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/VSSInit.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!--<script type="text/javascript">
VSS.init();
</script>-->
<h1>Hello word</h1>
<!--<script type="text/javascript">
VSS.notifyLoadSucceeded();
</script>-->
</body>
</html>
It's been a nightmare to me before I came to know that in order to get jquery ui working in ASP.NET MVC I need to add #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui"). Before doing so I kept getting Uncaught error: Undefined is not a function. What I did not understand was why on earth this would happen when I could see the jquery ui file in the sources when inspecting the html source. This is the _Layout.cshtml file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.24.min.js"></script>
<link href="~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.plugins.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/Helpers.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>#ViewBag.Title</title>
#Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
<body>
#RenderBody()
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")//Added later to get it working
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
In my Helper.js file I have some helper functions that I usually use. One of them is applyDatetimePickerAndFormat that is called on $(document).ready(). Inside that function I have the following code:
$('.txt-date').datepicker({
showAnim: "drop",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
dateFormat: "dd.mm.yy"
});
If I omit #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui") in the _Layout.cshtml I will get the aforementioned error. This code works perfectly with any plain html or web form. So it seems that somehow the document can't see the contents of the jquery-ui file. To make my question concrete:
When I look at the Sources of the the web page I can see jquery-ui-1.8.24.js and it's referenced in the html source. Then why can't the code find jquery-ui functions?
If every java script file has to be specified in the #Scripts.Render then why isn't there any problem with my Helper.js file?
And finally where does this ~/bundles/jqueryui path refer to?
jquery-ui depends on jquery (i.e. it must be defined after jquery) but you have duplicated your files. In the head you have included <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script> followed by jquery-ui. You then reload jquery at the end of the file using #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery") (Its now after jquery-ui).
Delete the script in the head and it should work. I addition, I recommend you delete jquery.validate and jquery.validate.unobtrusive from the head and use #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval") at the end of the file (before #RenderSection..). You can examine these bundles in App_Start\BundleConfig.cs file. There are numerous advantages to using bundles (see Bundling and Minification).
If you are using all these files in every page based on _Layout, you can define your own bundle to includes all files.
You need to define the strategy for your js. I recomend you ot organize your js first and after that separate it to smaller parts. One should be common for all the pages(jQuery in your case) and other scripts for validation should be included only on pages that have some editing fileds etc.
Use DRY principle and read some information about how js works. It helps me a lot some time ago and won't take a lot of time.
I'm trying to put the jQuery Booklet plugin on a site that uses the 1.3.2 library - I can't remove this reference or upgrade. I have successfully used noConflict in the past with other plugins that require a newer version of jQuery on this site.
When I test locally and include the 1.3.2 reference, Firebug console tells me:
but the book still loads correctly and functions. Not sure what that error means. When I put the code onto my development site, the images in the book appear one stacked on top of the other, navigation buttons are missing, and I see an error in the Firebug console that says
TypeError: p2.offset(...) is undefined
[Break On This Error]
p2.offset().left + pWidth - hoverFullWidth,
In IE it tells me:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'left' of undefined or null reference
jquery.booklet.latest.js, line 1205 character 2
This is the code in question, part of jquery.booklet.latest.js
p3.draggable({
axis: "x",
containment: [
target.offset().left,
0,
p2.offset().left + pWidth - hoverFullWidth,
pHeight
],
Something isn't loading correctly. The scripts look like this in my page in my development environment:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.1/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/wcsstore/CVWEB/images/home/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/wcsstore/CVWEB/images/home/js/jquery.booklet.latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="/opencms/opencms/CVWEB/css/jquery.booklet.latest.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen, projection, tv" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var $j = jQuery.noConflict(true);
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j(function () {
$j("#mybook").booklet();
});
});
</script>
Is there something extra I need to do with noConflict since there are so many other scripts? Do I need to modify the jquery.booklet.latest.js file to include noConflict somehow? I tried declaring the variable and replacing $ like above but that didn't do anything.
I looked here and here to try to solve the easing error, but I am already including all the correct scripts.
I tried the solution here of using jQuery instead of $ with no luck.
I'm still pretty green when it comes to jQuery so any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I am about to move on to a different option but wanted to post here so I can learn what the problem is.
It must be your incomplete src location.
It should be something like this, as if running from localhost:
<script src="http://localhost/wcsstore/CVWEB/images/home/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I would like load a different than English language locale for jQuery UI, while loading jQuery UI from Google Hosted Libraries CDN?
Is there a way to pass I18n parameter into load function?
google.load("jqueryui", "1.7.2")
I have also tried as per jQuery UI documentation on Datepicker internationalization to pass:
$(selector).datepicker($.datepicker.regional['pl']);
... but it did not do the trick :(
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/i18n/jquery-ui-i18n.min.js
EDIT:
It work's only google.load is omitted and standard JavaScript loading is used:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/i18n/jquery-ui-i18n.min.js"></script>
I realize that this may not be the answer you are looking for, but I stumbled upon your question when solving the very same problem.
I am approaching this by loading the i18n libraries from the local server:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<!-- local resource -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ui/i18n/jquery-ui-i18n.js"></script>
this code then works:
$(selector).datepicker($.datepicker.regional['pl']);
I am still interested in how to load the jquery-ui-i18n.js from a CDN.
