Can you debug and see where exactly this issue is coming?

Hi Premalink,

plz trying doing with the following code changes. I am able to load the page without any console errors other than some imgs not found.

The only code change I made is replace "#<%=example.ClientID%" to "#example" check for the following code below.

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            debugger;
            // Setup - add a text input to each footer cell
            $('#example tfoot th').each(function () {
                var title = $('thead th').eq($(this).index()).text();
                $(this).html('<input type="text" placeholder="Search ' + title + '" />');
            });

            // DataTable
            var table = $('#example').DataTable();

            // Apply the search
            table.columns().every(function () {
                var that = this;

                $('input', this.footer()).on('keyup change', function () {
                    that
                        .search(this.value)
                        .draw();
                });
            });
        });
</script>
