在我的情况下，这个错误发生，如果我使用表没有标题

              <thead>
                   <tr>
                       <th>example</th>
                  </tr>
              </thead>

我遇到了同样的错误，当试图添加colspan最后th

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>    
      <th>&nbsp;</th> <!-- column 1 -->
      <th colspan="2">&nbsp;</th> <!-- column 2&3 -->
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

并通过在tr末尾添加隐藏列来解决它

<thead>
  <tr>    
    <th>&nbsp;</th> <!-- column 1 -->
    <th colspan="2">&nbsp;</th> <!-- column 2&3 -->

    <!-- hidden column 4 for proper DataTable applying -->
    <th style="display: none"></th> 
  </tr>
</thead>

<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>

    <!-- hidden column 4 for proper DataTable applying -->
    <td style="display: none"></td>
  </tr>
</tbody>

对此的解释是，由于某些原因，DataTable不能应用于colspan位于最后th的表，但可以应用于colspan位于任何中间th的表。

这个解决方案有点俗气，但比我找到的任何其他解决方案都更简单、更短。

我希望这能帮助到一些人。

我遇到了同样的问题，但我是动态生成表。在我的例子中，我的表缺少<thead>和<tbody>标签。

下面是我的代码片段，如果它对某人有帮助的话

   //table string
   var strDiv = '<table id="tbl" class="striped center responsive-table">';

   //add headers
   var strTable = ' <thead><tr id="tableHeader"><th>Customer Name</th><th>Customer Designation</th><th>Customer Email</th><th>Customer Organization</th><th>Customer Department</th><th>Customer ContactNo</th><th>Customer Mobile</th><th>Cluster Name</th><th>Product Name</th><th> Installed Version</th><th>Requirements</th><th>Challenges</th><th>Future Expansion</th><th>Comments</th></tr> </thead> <tbody>';


  //add data
  $.each(data, function (key, GetCustomerFeedbackBE) {
                            strTable = strTable + '<tr><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustDesignation + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustEmail + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustOrganization + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustDepartment + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustContactNo + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrCustMobile + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrClusterName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrProductName + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrInstalledVersion + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrRequirements + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrChallenges + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrFutureExpansion + '</td><td>' + GetCustomerFeedbackBE.StrComments + '</td></tr>';
                        });

//add end of tbody
 strTable = strTable + '</tbody></table>';

//insert table into a div                 
   $('#divCFB_D').html(strDiv);
   $('#tbl').html(strTable);


    //finally add export buttons 
   $('#tbl').DataTable({
                            dom: 'Bfrtip',
                            buttons: [
                                'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
                            ]
                        });

对于那些使用GridView在webform中工作的人:

摩西的回答完全正确。但由于我们正在生成表格，默认情况下不会生成thead标记。所以要解决这个问题，添加[YourGridViewID]. headerrow。TableSection = TableRowSection。TableHeader到后端，在DataBind()方法调用的下面(如果您正在使用它)。这个配置将GridView中Field的HeaderText值作为它在头部内生成的th标签的值。

我得到一个类似的错误。问题是标题行不正确。当我执行下面的标题行时，我遇到的问题得到了解决。

<table id="example" class="table table-striped table-bordered" style="width:100%">
        <thead>
    <tr>
                <th colspan="6">Common Title</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Age</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
                <td>System Architect</td>
                <td>Edinburgh</td>
                <td>61</td>
                <td>2011/04/25</td>
                <td>$320,800</td>
            </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

我在通过脚手架生成器创建的Rails视图中使用DOM数据时遇到了同样的问题。默认情况下，视图为最后三列(包含显示、隐藏和销毁记录的链接)省略<th>元素。我发现，如果我在<thead>内的<th>元素中为这些列添加标题，它就解决了这个问题。

I can't say if this is the same problem you're having since I can't see your html. If it is not the same problem, you can use the chrome debugger to figure out which column it is erroring out on by clicking on the error in the console (which will take you to the code it is failing on), then adding a conditional breakpoint (at col==undefined). When it stops you can check the variable i to see which column it is currently on which can help you figure out what is different about that column from the others. Hope that helps!
