  Apologies - with v2.4.0 of Buttons I rewrote how the DOM options we constructed to make them a ton more flexible.

  I don't appear to have an option to fork or otherwise save the CodePen so this is the code to use:

  $(document).ready(function() {
      var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
          lengthChange: false,
          buttons: {
            dom: {
              button: {
                tag: 'li',
                liner: {
                  tag: 'a',
                },
              },
            },
            buttons: [ 'copy', 'excel', 'pdf', 'colvis' ] 
          },
      } );
   
      table.buttons().container()
          .appendTo( '#example_wrapper' );
  } );
  

  This is the part of the code that defines the options.

  I actually dropped the documentation for them as I've very very rarely seen anyone use them, hence why this wasn't communicated as clearly as it probably should have been. In retrospect, I should have made is a v3 release, but I'd wanted other things in for that as well, which didn't make it in time.

  Regards,
  Allan

  @allan that fixed it, thank you! No worries, thanks for the quick response. We were just in the processes of updating and noticed an error.
