Hi

I'm a new DataTables user - testing basic functionality on local machine (Netbeans)but getting the following error:

TypeError: cannot read property 'aDataSort' of undefined...

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

                <script> $(document).ready( function () 
                {
                    $('#tableA').DataTable();
                }
                );
        </script>    
</head>

            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Row 1 Data 1</td>

    Answer ✓

    This line should not be there as it is declaring another table:
    <table style="width:100%">

    You should just have this on one line:
    <table id="tableA" class="display" style="width:100%">
