Question

I’m trying to implement JQuery datatables in my play application.

Here is my code

    #{extends 'main.html' /}
    #{set title:'Customers List' /}
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="@{'/public/stylesheets/demo_table.css'}">
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="@{'/public/stylesheets/demo_page.css'}">
    #{set 'moreScripts'}
    <script src="@{'/public/javascripts/jquery-1.5.2.min.js'}" type="text/javascript" charset="${_response_encoding}"></script>
    <script src="@{'/public/javascripts/jquery.dataTables.js'}" type="text/javascript" charset="${_response_encoding}"></script>
    <script src="@{'/public/javascripts/jquery.js'}" type="text/javascript" charset="${_response_encoding}"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready( function() {
            oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
        });
    </script>
    #{/set}
    <div class="others" align="center">
                    <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example">
                        <thead>
                        <tr>
                                <th>Header1</th>
                                <th>Header2</th>
                        </tr>
                        </thead>
                        <tbody>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Col1</td>
                                <td>Col2</td>
                            </tr>
                        </tbody>
                    </table>
    </div>

When i run the page javascript throws an error

$("#example").dataTable is not a function

I checked all javascript/css files. All files were included.
What could be the error.

You must load DataTables AFTER jQuery in your scripts section, and you must only include jQuery once.

Try removing the second (non-minified) request for jQuery and see how you go.
