This process took way longer than it should have!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, I checked that the HTML table was named, and it had a table header and single table body<\/li>\n<li>Next, I verified that the header Javascript referred to that table name correctly<\/li>\n<li>After that, I carefully checked all the header Javascript code, line by line.<\/li>\n<li>It was exactly the same as the code on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contextures.com\/functions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my Excel Functions List page<\/a>, which has a working DataTable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"sec5\">5) Finding the Problem<\/h3>\n<p>It was a long, frustrating morning, and I didn&#8217;t know what else to check.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I compared the Javascript at the end of the page&#8217;s HTML code, line by line, to the code on a different page, which had a working DataTable.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I discovered that there was an <strong>extra script on the problem page<\/strong> (shown below &#8212; I turned off Dark mode so it&#8217;s easier to read)<\/li>\n<li>It didn&#8217;t seem related to DataTables, but I <strong>commented that line out<\/strong>, as a test.<\/li>\n<li>To my surprise (and delight), the DataTable&#8217;s interactive features started working correctly!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/datatablesearchbox05.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentcolor; display: inline; background-image: none;\" title=\"Javascript script commented out\" src=\"https:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/datatablesearchbox05_thumb.png\" alt=\"Javascript script commented out\" width=\"450\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Why Did That Solve the Problem?<\/h3>\n<p>Commenting that line out didn&#8217;t have any negative effect on the page, as far as I can tell.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea why that script was messing up the interactive features, so maybe I&#8217;ll go down that rabbit hole one day.<\/p>\n<h3>DataTables Are Worth the Trouble<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the minor trouble I&#8217;ve had with setting up Datatables, the benefits far outweigh the problems.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend using them, on pages where you&#8217;ve got a long HTML table. People will be able to sort, search, and control the number of items per page.<\/p>\n<p>That makes it a better experience, and visitors will be more likely to come back to your site again.<\/p>\n<p>__________________<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my Contextures Excel Tutorials website, there are a few pages with long lists.
