i am working on pagination and i am using DataTables plugin ,
on some tables it's work but on some tables it gives error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'aDataSort' of undefined

my page script looks like:

$(document).ready(function() {

     $('.datatable').dataTable( {

        scrollY:        200px,

        scrollCollapse: true,

        info:           true,

        paging:         true

    } );

} );

//HTML code

<table class=table table-striped table-bordered datatable>

   <thead>

        <tr>

          <th><?php echo lang('date_label')?></th>

          <th><?php echo lang('paid_label')?></th>

          <th><?php echo lang('comments_label');?></th>

        </tr>

   </thead>

   <tbody>

      <?php foreach ($payments as $pay): ?>

      <tr>

        <td><?php echo dateformat($pay['time_stamp'], TRUE);?></td>

        <td><?php echo format_price($pay['amount']);?></td>

        <td><?php echo $pay['note'];?></td>

      </tr>

      <?php endforeach?>

   </tbody>

</table>
