Question

I am using the no configuration option and have taken the following steps:

1. put the js files into root/public/javascripts
2. put the image files into root/public/images
3. put the demo css files into root/public/stylesheets

4. put css call in the head section of my layout file

   <%= stylesheet_link_tag "demo_table", :media => "all" %>
   

5. put the initialization script in the head section of my layout file:

   <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   $(document).ready(function() {
   $('#example').dataTable();
   } );
   </script >
   

6. first line of my table layout is:

   <table width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse; " id="example">
   

I restarted my server. Nothing happens. What am i missing?

Answer 1

I have been using the RailsDatatables plugin in my rails apps without any problem. Maybe give that a try?
