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