No More Excel DataTable Button?

zgoforth

Hello,

So I was running the DataTables debugger just to check it out, and found out some of the scripts/css stylesheets I was using were out of date, so I went ahead and updated them. I noticed in my button collection, I had an excel button which would save the table as an excel spreadsheet which was really convenient, but now it no longer pops up.

These are the old scripts/stylesheets:

<link rel ="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.css"/>

Here is my test case where the excel button disappeared: https://jsfiddle.net/BeerusDev/mznL52p8/92/

It doesn't look like you are loading all of the required files for the Excel button. The requirements are documented here. Use the Download Builder to make sure you have all the required files.
