DataTable doesn't work (jQuery)

Question

I have made a simple table to show dataTable something like this in DataTable . The problem is I have tried to do in a similar way like it does.

First of all, I have put the coding below:

<table id="myTable" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Position</th>
            <th>Office</th>
            <th>Age</th>
            <th>Salary</th>
        </tr>
    </thead> 
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
            <td>System Architect</td>
            <td>Edinburgh</td>
            <td>61</td>
            <td>$320,800</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Cedric Kelly</td>
            <td>Senior Javascript Developer</td>
            <td>Edinburgh</td>
            <td>22</td>
            <td>$433,060</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Sonya Frost</td>
            <td>Software Engineer</td>
            <td>Edinburgh</td>
            <td>23</td>
            <td>$103,600</td>
        </tr>
     </tbody>
  </table>

I don't forget to call function something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#myTable').DataTable();
    });
</script>

And also I have call external sources as suggested like this:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.4/js/jquery.data"></script>

The problem is it doesnt work as shown as here. Here is JSFIDDLE . Any idea? Thanks.

Check this link Demo here you must include the js correctly

   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.0/css/jquery.dataTables.css">
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.dataTables/1.9.0/css/jquery.dataTables_themeroller.css">
   <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>

I spent hours working this out, turns out I was missing tags needed for the Search to work:

<thead></thead>

and the

<tbody></tbody>

Answer 3

Remove // from the beginning of links. And include https:// before these links. i also faced this issue. But now its working.

Answer 4

To make the table working what you can do is,

$(window).load(()=>{
    setTimeout(() => {
        $('table').DataTable();
    }, 1100);
})

Answer 5

Add $.noConflict(); to your script:

<script type="text/javascript">

$.noConflict();

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myTable').DataTable();
});

</script>
