This is literally a copy of a page on this site and I can't get the table to load up. I removed all links to files on this domain's server and irrelevant javascript
I either get the error in firebug "$ is not a defined" or "function DataTable() does not exist". This is literally a copy of something I see working on this site, minus irrelevant script and source links to local files. I'm out of ideas... I just can't get this to work. I'm forever indebted to anyone who helps me out :)

I had a similar problem.
Try to remove your cellspacing option
Just write this :
<
table id="example>
and then write your javascript like this
$(document).ready(function(){ $('#example').DataTable() })Your HTML is not valid - the is no opening
bodytag. Adding that allows it to work as expected: http://live.datatables.net/coruwomi/1/edit .Allan
