akilpatel

when the download button for CSV, PDF etc is clicked it doesn't work only print button works, the other button gives the following error " Uncaught TypeError: b.inst.processing is not a function ".

here is some part of my code

$(function() {
            var table = $('#users').DataTable({
                processing: true,
                serverSide: true,
                ajax: '{!! route('jobapps') !!}',
                dom: 'lBfrtip',
                "scrollX": true,
                buttons:[
                    'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
                ],
                "lengthMenu": [ 10, 50, 100, 500],
                "iTotalRecords":"6",
                "iTotalDisplayRecords":"6"

Hi @akilpatel ,

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.
