What is the best way to set up a datatables table? I've tried implementing datatables features like search, pagination, dropdowns, and sorting in my existing table, but it's not functioning properly.
Even though I'm using the CDN versions of CSS and JavaScript for datatables, the functionality is still not working as expected.
This is an excerpt from my code:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en>
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset=utf-8>
<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
<!-- DATATABLE -->
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.18/css/dataTables.bootstrap4.min.css">
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="offset-2 col-sm-8 mt-2">
<table class="table table-hover table-striped table-bordered dataTable" id="isi">
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">#</th>
<th scope="col">ID</th>
<th scope="col">Location</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- START SCRIPT -->
<script type="text/JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#isi).dataTable();
});
</script>
<!-- Optional JavaScript -->
<!-- DATATABLE -->
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.18/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
...
</body>
</html>
...
I suspect that the issue lies with the implementation of my CDN links for stylesheets and scripts.
