Followed directions - when I F12 in browser and view sources I can see the css, the JS and the Jquery loaded so I don't know why not working.. I've tried running the document.ready script in different locations and nothing working..

    Answer ✓

    The order of including CSS and JS files matters. For example datatables.js requires jquery.js so jquery.js needs to be loaded first. You can look at the load order of this example. You can also use the Download Builder to get the proper files and in the order needed.
