Can't edit page anymore after typing error in JQuery code, page content lost

When I put the following code in a HTML macro then it works great:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#hide").click(function(){
        $("p").hide();
    });
    $("#show").click(function(){
        $("p").show();
    });
});
</script>

<p>If you click on the "Hide" button, I will disappear.</p>

<button id="hide">Hide</button>
<button id="show">Show</button>

However, as soon as I enter the following...

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

    oTable.fnAdjustColumnSizing();
    
} );
</script>

which of course doesn't make much sense, then I can save the page, but if I edit it again then it shows just nothing, I cannot view source code (<>), no preview, I can only save the blank page. After this save then all content is gone.

What am I missing?

@Andre Vergison I have seen others fix this issue outside of Confluence doing this:

if (oTable != "") {
        oTable.fnAdjustColumnSizing(); //oTable is the variable which holds DataTable

    }
