  Note i did not paste all the code, the page works fine by default, but my datatables doesn't seem to initiate!
  
  I took the code (libs and table) from another page that works... i'm a little bit dumbstruck!

  Finaly, after removing and commenting and adding stuff for an hour i found out that i had another table in the code that was classed "datatable" and the Jquery selector was it, but it was NOT a datatable therefore i had that oColumn is undefined cryptic error but it had nothing to do with the actual datatables!

  Allan, maybe putting a custom error message instead of failing silently would be appreciated...
  
  For exemple, if a table doesn't feature THs or something like that, gracefully continue working and alert the user that table #ID something doesn't conform, it will make us lose much less time to debug stupid errors like that are not your fault at all!

  The thing is that initialising multiple tables with a single selector is quite useful: http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/multiple_tables.html . However, I agree - perhaps adding the id (if there is one) would be quite useful. Added to the 'to do' list.
