Custom buttons not showing

sarahk

I'm keen to ditch my non-datatables buttons and use yours instead. I'm using the cdn with javascript: buttons and buttons.print.

I've got an example at http://live.datatables.net/yaruhewo/1/edit

I've uploaded by actual config using the debug tool: ojayar

My code looks like this:

       $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#tMerges').DataTable({
            processing: true,
            serverSide: true,
            stateSave: true,
            order: [[ 0, "desc" ]],
            buttons: [{
                    text: 'Reload',
                    action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
                        dt.ajax.reload();
                    }
                }],
            ajax: { url: "/merges/jsonIndex.json" }
        });
    });

What am I missing?

You need to add code to tell Datatables where to display the buttons. See the Installation docs for details. Usually the dom option is the easiest.
