DataTables not loading with site

I have a site and I call dataTables from a local server but for some reason it is not loading. I have tested the location on the local server with another project and it works there so I'm not sure why it isn't here. I have attached a snippet of my HTML.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>My Project</title>
<style type="text/css">
td#td-1 { background:#F0FFF0;}
td#td-2 { background:#FCFFD3;}
td#td-3 { background:#F6D8DC;}
td#td-gr { background:grey;}
td#td-r{ text-align:right;}
td#td-l{ text-align:left;}
td#td-c{ text-align:center;}
tfoot input {
width: 100%;
padding: 3px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_filter {
float: right;
text-align: right;
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="http://my.local.server/.js/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="http://my.local.server/.js/dataTables.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://my.local.server/.css/dataTables.css"/>
</head>
...
...
<script>
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#table_untrim tfoot tr').insertBefore($('#table_untrim tbody'));
var utrimtable = $('#table_untrim').DataTable( {
'pagingType': 'full_numbers',
'paging': true,
"lengthMenu" : [ [-1, 10, 25, 50, 100], ["All", 10, 25, 50,100] ]
});
</script>

    What exactly is not loading?

    What troubleshooting have you done? Do you get errors in the browsers console?

    How are you loading the data into the table - its not clear from the code snippet.

    Can you post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issues so we can help debug?

    None of it loads, like the drop-down menu, page numbers, search bar, etc.

    The error I'm getting in the browser console is this:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting '_DT_CellIndex')

    Data is loaded into the table through a perl script.

    I can't post the page due to it containing confidential medical data

    Answer ✓

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting '_DT_CellIndex')

    There are a lot of threads, like this one that discuss the error. Generally its due to a mismatch in the number of columns in HTML and what is defined for Datatables.

    I would start by making sure the HTML table matches the Datatables HTML requirements. Make sure you don't have -tag rowspanor-tag colspanin the-tag tbody`.
