Hi Usman,

Are you getting a Javascript error on the console? How are you adding it to the table? If you had a link to your example, that would be very helpful.

In the class search results, i am appending Script for Addthis which gets successfully to datatable but don't show up any widget as shown in this screen shot.

Also there are no console errors and every thing else is working fine.

Any Help ?

My understanding is that the DOM is initialized, then DataTables fetches the data from the ASP application, which has already appended the appropriate tags for the widgets.

Retrieving script tags this way will not execute the JavaScript required to initialise your widgets. It will simply insert the tags, which on their own do nothing. The JavaScript referenced or contained within the tags must be executed. There are ways to do it, but I haven't researched them myself so I'm afraid I have no practical advice.

That is exactly what i was thinking. Thanks for your Help.
