unable to get filtering to work

pwiggins

If I try to change "dataTable" to DataTable, like many suggestions my console.log(table) is an empty array. But if I do the following I get this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9n35jqriuhlkcnf/Screenshot%202015-10-15%2016.04.27.png?dl=0

But then I get this error:
TypeError: table.columns is not a function. (In 'table.columns()', 'table.columns' is undefined)

I'm using version 1.10.9. What am I doing wrong. Scrolling is working correctly and the search boxes created by this are working, just not the searching itself.

        $('#cust_list tfoot th').each( function () {
            var title = $('#cust_list thead th').eq( $(this).index() ).text();
            $(this).html( '<input type="text" placeholder="Search '+title+'" />' );
        } );

        // DataTable
        var table = $('#cust_list').dataTable({
            scrollY:        "700px",
            scrollX:        true,
            scrollCollapse: false,
            paging:         false,
            bFilter: false

        });
        console.log(table);

        // Apply the search
        table.columns().every( function () {
            var that = this;

            $( 'input', this.footer() ).on( 'keyup change', function () {
                if ( that.search() !== this.value ) {
                    that
                        .search( this.value )
                        .draw();
                }
            } );
        } );

Upper/Lower case is not an artistic decision, you need to use the right one. :)

The difference is described here, http://datatables.net/manual/api

Compare your code to the example.
