Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'aoData' of null

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'aoData' of null

I have been trying various things today but made barely any progress. I keep getting this error (Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'aoData' of null), but DataTables does work. I have 4 DataTables on the dashboard of a website. These DataTables work, but I do get this error. On another page I want to use DataTables it does not work.

I copy/pasted a table from the dashboard, but it does nothing apart from showing the same error.

    There is no `#table_1` element on the page, so you are using API methods on a table that doesn't exist. If you use a table that does exist, it works fine: http://live.datatables.net/ireciz/2/edit

    Right - do all the other tables? Its difficult to say what the problem is without a link to a test case (the test case you did link to is now working :-) ).
