My export to excel button keep not showing even after i used those code above. I don't have any idea with what's happening with those code. Someone with greater experience please help me. I got my reference from https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/export.html

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').DataTable({

});

Here's the console output:

In order to you use the export plugin you also need to include the following scripts:

Hiding whole DataTable and only show result rows from DataTables search

I am using DataTabel.
I am successfully linking custom input text with DataTables search function.
Are there a way to hide whole DataTable including footer and header and only show search result rows?
You can use the DataTables dom option: dom: 'ft'
This causes only the f filter (search) box and the t table to be displayed.
You can hide the table's header and footer rows using CSS - for example, one way is to use:
<thead style="display: none;">
(It's better to place such styles in a CSS file, instead of embedding them inline in the HTML.)
The end result would be:
Live demo:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
dom: 'ft'
} );
} );

Datatable, table overlapped when using fixed column

Base on the code I use below, my table is messed up when using fixed column. It seems that my table is overlapped at the first 3 left column. I suspect that scrollX is making the problem because the table looks perfectly fine without it.
Any ideas why this happen and how to solve it?
$('#example').DataTable( {
scrollY: "300px",
scrollX: true,
scrollCollapse: true,
paging: false,
fixedColumns: {
leftColumns:3
}
} );
<table id="example" class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover table-checkable" style="width:100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>First name</th>
<th>Last name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
<th>Extn.</th>
<th>E-mail</th>

You should read dataTable documentation properly and include all css & js external script in your code
Your problem is missing some external script
Here is the working solution
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
scrollY: "300px",
scrollX: true,
scrollCollapse: true,
paging: false,
fixedColumns: {
leftColumns: 2
}
} );
} );
/* Ensure that the demo table scrolls */
th, td { white-space: nowrap; }
div.dataTables_wrapper {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Include
dataTables.min.css
fixedColumns.dataTables.min.css
jquery.min.js
jquery.dataTables.min.js
dataTables.fixedColumns.min.js
I have fixed by removing table-checkable class
<table class="table table-hover full-width" ></table>
table-checkable

DataTables with Bootstrap - Style Pagination Buttons

<tr>

Javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable();
} );
I'm wondering how I can change the style of the pagination buttons (the ones that say Previous,1 and Next) to have another background color for example. I have tried to inspect element to see which CSS class that are affecting them and then trying to edit them, but I haven't gotten it to work.
https://jsfiddle.net/cLx7kqgu/1/
The buttons are actually links wrapped inside an linamed %table_name%_previous %table_name%_next. You can target them like this.
CSS
#example_previous a {
background-color:black;
}
#example_next a {
background-color:red;
}
Try this , use important to overwrite bootstrap
.pagination>li>a, .pagination>li>span{
border:1px solid red !important;
}

How to perform sorting in datatables using jquery plugin?

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
"order": [[ 3, "desc" ]]
} );
} );
I have used this even though it is not workin..
I am assuming based on your questing you are not able to sort your table by using jQuery plugins you have used.
For sorting your table first of all you have to add css and js file (check in following code and then in javascript code give your table ID (here id is example).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.dataTables.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
"order": [[ 3, "desc" ]]
} );
} );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
