dynamically size the table in larger monitors?

Can we dynamically size the table such that it takes more advantage of our screen real estate on bigger monitors? Right now it is a fixed height... I would like to stretch it so that it fits more of the screen on larger monitors.

Are you using paging? Scrolling? Something else? The answer is yes, but it depends upon how you are using the table. I think this might be a good one for an example in future, as vertical size resizing does crop up on the forums quite a few times. Note made :-)

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the quick response. We are using scrolling, in fact we have implemented like http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/Scroller/large_js_source.html. When we see this in bigger monitors, we find lots of empty space at the bottom. Can we get rid of this by adjusting the table height dynamically?

You can set the sScrollY parameter on initialisation using something like:

[code]
sScrollY: $(window).height() - 100
[/code]

The problem there is that it doesn't cope with resizing. You would need to dynamically modify the container to have that work. I will try to set up an example when I get a chance.
