                <th><?php echo lang('index_net_th');?></th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div class="widget-foot">

</div>

</div>

edit:

this is my js script:

/* Data Table */
/* ********** */

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#data-table').dataTable({
       "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
         "dom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip'
    });
});

/* ****************************** */

and my css is the big file you download from datatables web page.

I have spent almost a week trying to add tabletools to my code i just cant understand the documentation, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks everyone!

first import the data tabletools package after that unzipped the folder where the your project folder after that include the source file like this

<script src="http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables-1.10.7/media/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables-1.10.7/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script src="http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables-1.10.7/extensions/TableTools/js/dataTables.tableTools.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables-1.10.7/media/css/jquery.dataTables.css"rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables-1.10.7/extensions/TableTools/css/dataTables.tableTools.css"rel="stylesheet">

and after that include the jquery function

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#index1').DataTable( {
dom: 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
tableTools: {
        "sSwfPath": "http://localhost:88/project_name/DataTables1.10.7/extensions/TableTools/swf/copy_csv_xls.swf"
    }
} );

} );
</script>

here index1 is table id

Add tabletools swf file to your datatable options, and add the datatables js and css files to your code

$('#status_table').DataTable({
    "tableTools": {
        "sSwfPath": "packages/datatables-tabletools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf"
    }
});

Ok.

Table tools are a PLUGIN to datatables, a number of steps are required to get this to work.

I cannot see your header, so I do not know what you have included (js,css)

First you need to have all the scripts/css for the standard data tables.

In addition to that you need to go https://www.datatables.net/extensions/tabletools/plug-ins and download/save the javascript and add that to your header to be loaded, you also need to download, save and load the table tools css sheet in your header as well - again I cannot see that you have done so.

Go to https://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/extensions/TableTools/examples/simple.html, save all the HTML/JS/CSS locally and create a file to test that locally. Once that is working with external files start including the files (js/css) on your server - if its still working you know you have all the required libraries.

Then try your code - if it does not work put a SIMPLE table in their - you could even use the one from the table tools site.

If its still not working what does the debugging console tell you (Firefox/Chrome)?
