Buttons for export to Excel do not show

bellatrix

Hi!
I need to export my table data to Excel, but with no success whatever I do.
I do not use button styling, just javascripts as follows:

.../js/jquery/jquery.js
...cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js
...cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.2.2/js/dataTables.buttons.min.js
...cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.2.2/js/buttons.flash.min.js
...cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.2.2/js/buttons.html5.min.js
.../js/jszip.min.js
.../js/FileSaver.js

for the ordinary table with common structure in accordance with datatables.net requirements.

My initialisation javascript was taken from this site:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    var table = jQuery('#Excelex').DataTable( {
        
    buttons: [
        {
            extend: 'excelHtml5',
            text: 'Save current page',
            exportOptions: {
                modifier: {
                    page: 'current'
                }
            }
        }
    ]
    
    } );
} );

Other controls (sorting, info etc.) showing as expected.
What I'm missing to make buttons to show and work?

Well, I now see that buttons can not be seen unless letter B is set in dom option.
This topic can be deleted.

You can also use the buttons().container() method to get the node an insert it into the documentation. The documentation has a section for how to display the buttons.
