How to get checkbox visible

How to get checkbox visible

I'm trying to use dataTable with Bootstrap. I can get the rows in the table to select but the box is not shown. Any ideas?

Below are my base1.html file and an index.html file.

base1.html:

    The biggest issue is classname should be className, like this: className: 'select-checkbox',. Note the upper case N in Name.

    Secondarily you don't have all the correct Datatables Bootstrap4 integration files. You can use the Download Builder to generate the correct files. More info can be found here:

    Kevin-

    Many thanks for the quick response. Sometimes I need another pair of eyes to see what I no longer have the ability to see. It seems to work, but I'll look again at the Download Builder.

    Kevin-

    I can't get the download builder to work for me. When I try it, the table does not build correctly.

    Also, I see that two image files are getting loaded for the column sorting icons.

    Do I have the correct files being loaded in this screen shot?

    I can't get the download builder to work for me. When I try it, the table does not build correctly.

    What happens? Make sure you aren't duplicating JS and CSS files in the downlaod builder and files you are loading separately, like jquery.js, etc. If you choose them in the downlaod builder don't also load them individually.

    Also, I see that two image files are getting loaded for the column sorting icons.

    You have conflicting CSS. You are loading both jquery.dataTables.min.css and dataTables.bootstrap4.min.css. You should only load dataTables.bootstrap4.min.css.

    Here is the basic Datatables with BS4 integration example:

    This page discusses what is need in more detail:

    Thanks for your patience and support.

    If I take the js and css files contained in that example and plug them into the page, the table renders ok, but the BootStrap menu drop down does not work... So, this is why you find me running off into the weeds looking for combinations that will get both working.

    I have added the two "select' files for the checkbox support. What should I try next?
    Below is another screen shot showing these files loading.

    Here are the js and css files lifted from my page:

    Without seeing the code in action its hard to say what the problem is. Can you post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help troubleshoot?

    The mystery above is why do I have to reload jquery. Right?

    After I fix a few other things, would it make sense for me to put up two versions of this page (the working and non-working versions) so that you could log in and take a look at those pages?

  • kthorngrenkthorngren Posts: 20,322Questions: 26Answers: 4,774

    Not sure but jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js might not contain jQuery ajax method. You should load jquery and all other JS files only once. Try removing jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js and move jquery-3.3.1.js to the top.

    I could have sworn that I tried it before and it didn't work. However, it does work. Much thanks.
