  That looks like it should work to me. Can you link to a page showing the issue please.

  I think that the problem could be linked to CSS selector. I tried to change $(".select2").select2(); to $('.select2').addClass('red'); but it does not work. But $('#myTable tbody').addClass('red'); works perfectly, adding the 'red' style to all cells.

  I tried many times to get the correct selector to access all .select2 objects in myTable, without any luck. How can I determine the correct selector to use ?

  Try:

  $( 'select.select2', table.rows().nodes() ).select2();
  

  However, as I say, I would really need a test case to know for sure.

  The problem is that you aren't using DataTables' own ajax options to load the data into the table, but rather your own $.ajax call with row.add(). You need to initialise select2 after you have added the rows. At the moment the select2 initialisation is happening before the data has been loaded into the table, thus it is finding nothing.

  Thank you... I tried to switch to ajax loading inside Datatables, but there is something that I do wrong...

  I have this in HTML :

    <table id="tableDONNEES" >
                  <thead>
                  <tr>
                    <th>id</th>
                    <th>col1</th>
                    <th>col2</th>
                    <th>col3</th>
                    <th></th>
                    </tr>
                  </thead>
                  <tbody>
  
                  </tbody>
                  <tfoot>
                  <tr>
                   <th>id</th>
                    <th>col1</th>
                    <th>col2</th>
                    <th>col3</th>
                    <th></th>
                  </tr>
                  </tfoot>
                </table>
  

  I have in JS > $(document).ready(function() { ... this :

  var tableDONNEES = $("#tableDONNEES").DataTable( {
          "serverSide": true,
          "ajax": {
              "url": "scripts/myscript.php",
              "type": "GET",
              "data": function ( d ) {
                  d.operation = "list";
              }
            },
          "columns": [{ name:"id", "data":"id" },
                      {name:"name1", "data":"codepostal"},
                      {name:"name2", "data":"ville"}, 
                      {name:"name3", "data":"pays"}, 
                      {name:"name4", "orderable": false, "data": "null"}]
      } );
  

  myscript.php contains :

  if ($operation=="lister"){      
      $db=dbconnect();
      
      $query = "SELECT id,codepostal,ville, pays  FROM db_villes WHERE 1;";
                  
      $result=mysqli_query($db, $query);
      
      $dataArray = array();
      while($array = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
          $dataArray[] = $array;
      } 
      
      echo json_encode($dataArray);
  }
  

  and it outputs this (got from Safari > Resources > XHR) :

  [{"id":"1","codepostal":"4000","ville":"ville1","pays":"France"},{"id":"2","codepostal":"4020","ville":"ville2","pays":"France"},{"id":"3","codepostal":"4020","ville":"ville3","pays":"France"},{"id":"4","codepostal":"4031","ville":"ville3","pays":"France"}
  }]
  

  When I load the page, nothing is shown in the DataTable (no entry) and I get the following error : TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'c.length') in jquery.dataTables.min.js:36:421.

  I don't understand. Could you help me please ?

  Many thanks again...

  You have enabled the serverSide option, but your server-side script doesn't fully implement server-side processing.

  Do you need server-side processing?

  Ok !! I modified the script to create json result and deleted serverSide option. Now it works and It's much pretty than my previous code... Thanks thanks !!! :-)
