I have a peculiar problem. I am developing a php site that required Datatables to work with it. I noticed that Datatables styling does not work when I run it on localhost be it Firefox or Chrome. My code is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="text/css" href="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"/>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable();
} );
</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>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<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>
<tr>
<td>Garrett Winters</td>
<td>Accountant</td>
<td>Tokyo</td>
<td>63</td>
<td>2011/07/25</td>
<td>$170,750</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ashton Cox</td>
<td>Junior Technical Author</td>
<td>San Francisco</td>
<td>66</td>
<td>2009/01/12</td>
<td>$86,000</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
And this gives me a rather ugly version of the datatable. Search functionalities and filtering works but is missing styles and column reordering.
However the strange thing is that a jsfiddle that I drew up containing the same data render as expected, with all styling, etc... The fiddle link is as follows: https://jsfiddle.net/gkyya29h/
I'm using XAMPP server with firefox as my default browser. Can someone help me figure this out? I may be doing some very obvious mistake but I'm failing to see it. Thank You.

Your link tag to CSS is wrong. Maybe some browsers won't process it correctly.
There's this simple error in link: You wrote rel="text/css"
Try this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"/>
