I want to dynamically add buttons and am not having any luck. I've attached the JSFiddle, I thought I did everything as shown in the examples but it just ignores the button.add task

You are using this to init Datatables:

var dtab = $('#tblCohort').dataTable({ ... });

The variable dtab doesn't contain the Datatable API instance needed for adding the button. See this FAQ. Use an upper case D, like this:

var dtab = $('#tblCohort').DataTable({ ... });

O.M.G. I seriously don't know if I ever would have caught that. Thanks so much!!
