Here's my script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#dataTables-example').dataTable();
});
I tried to get the ID but still it didn't works. Hope you can help me.

In your work, you get the ID in table. your should grab it from the checkbox if you use jquery, as in;
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
document.getElementByID("ckmyid").innerHTML;
});
</script>
Note:add Selector ID in your checkbox, first, say, "ckmyid" so the code will be like this:
<input id="ckmyid" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $record['id'] ?>">
Based on your structure, you can grab it directly from the link in your view records link if you want to place the ID there,as in;
<td> View Records </td>
