  Have a look at the firebug or inspector console - it sounds like you are getting a Javascript error. What is that error?
  
  Btw - the trailing comma on line 41 above isn't going to help.

  Thanks Allan. I was having some kind of a cache problem. After clearing the cache and removing the comma most things worked.
  
  However, using DataTables 1.9.0 and TableTools-2.0.2 I see the same problem reported by others. That is, all of the select_all, select_none, print, copy, csv, xls and pdf buttons all show up. Clinging on the print button works by popping up a message saying to use the browser print facility. The copy, csv, xls and pdf buttons display the hand with the finger when placed over the button. When copy is clicked it actually copies the word blank to the clipboard but I get no message saying data has been copied as others have stated. I tried selecting all with the select_all button and with the mouse. Same result. The others (csv, xls and pdf do nothing at all).
  
  Thanks for any input you can provide.

  Ignore the comment above. I finally came across the information that the file cannot be viewed in a browser using file:/// But must be viewed using a web server. Once I did that then everything works as suggested in the documentation.
  
  Thanks.

  Hello,
  I'm sorry to bother you again with this issue... I tried to reproduce your code, adapted a bit, but still could not manage to make it work. Cleared cache and everything...
  Below is my code:
  
  
  
  
  
  My Table Test
  
  
  
  
  
  
  @import "TableTools-2.0.2/media/css/TableTools.css";
  @import "DataTables-1.9.0/media/css/demo_page.css";
  @import "DataTables-1.9.0/media/css/demo_table.css";
  @import "css/redmond/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.css";
  *{
  font-family: Segoe UI, Arial;
  font-size:small;
  }
  
  
  
  $(document).ready(function(){
  $('#mytable').dataTable({
  "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
  "bJQueryUI": true,
  "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
  "aLengthMenu": [[3, 5, 10, -1], [3, 5, 10, "All"]],
  "oTableTools": {
  "sSwfPath": "TableTools-2.0.2/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf",
  "aButtons": [
  "copy", "csv", "xls", "pdf",
  {
  "sExtends": "collection",
  "sButtonText": "Save",
  "aButtons": [ "csv", "xls", "pdf" ]
  }
  ]
  }
  });
  });

  @Zone - what aspect of it isn't working? TableTools, DataTables, something else, everything? Can you please link us to your test page?

  I'm sorry, I'm rather new to technical forums (to jquery also and this could be the problem :) )
  DataTables works as expected. Problem appeared when I tried to use Table Tools - I can't make the export buttons to show.
  
  Initially I tried to use jquery Ui theming: "sDom": '<"H"Tlf>t<"F"ip>', - without result, then I thought I would be happy even without UI theme ( "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip', ) but I still can't see any result. The simple presence of the "T" in that declaration actually destroys the table (in lack of a better wording)
  
  The test page would be the actual code above (don't have a link as I test it on my company intranet)

  Have a look at the Webkit Inspector console - does it have any errors on it?
