  There isn't an example for that, but basically you wouldn't call the $().DataTable() method until you are ready to initialise the DataTable.

  It might be basic, but can you please tell me how to call it, if I would like to call it, after clicking the submit button?
  Here is the example and my solution, but there might be a more elegant one:
  ```

  <?
  if ($_POST["date"] != '') {

  <?php > ... $(document).ready(function() { ... }); ... <? } ?> ``` ?>

  Thank you!

  var table;
  
  $('#myButton').on( 'click', function () {
    if ( ! table ) {
      table = $('#myTable').DataTable();
    }
  } );
