try this one:
var table = $('#example').DataTable(); var data = table.rows().data(); alert('The table has ' + data.length + ' records'); $('td').click( function() { console.log(this); row_index = table.fnGetPosition(this)[0]; console.log(row_index); });
body { font: 90%/1.45em "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; color: #333; background-color: #fff; } div.container { min-width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; }

Data table is not an inbuilt property of JQuery. You have to use external plugins for it? Have you included them? link https://datatables.net

Datable needs thead and tbody to work properly (you mention that it is in your code but not in your snippet) You also need minimum css. Your problem seems to be the version you use. Update to the lastr one (see snippet)
https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.13/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js
var table = $('#myTable').DataTable(); var data = table.rows().data(); /* alert("2");*/ alert('The table has ' + data.length + ' records');
