Cannot read property '_buttons' of undefined

I'm getting the following error in my JS console:

datatables.min.js:220 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_buttons' of undefined
    at m._constructor (datatables.min.js:220)
    at new m (datatables.min.js:216)
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (table.area.js:32)
    at i (datatables.min.js:21)
    at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (datatables.min.js:21)
    at Function.ready (datatables.min.js:21)
    at HTMLDocument.K (datatables.min.js:21)

.NET MVC, copied and pasted the JS, controller, model, etc. I have another view working perfectly but can't for the life of me see why this one is not.

Any sage advice would be welcome.

I solved this, it was a case issue with the table name (id="Area") in the HTML and the reference in the document.ready function (#area) - tough one to track down form the error message though.

Thanks for posting back - good to hear you've got it working.

I'll have a think about how I might be able to catch that and throw a custom error.
