How to show "Show X entries" and Showing 1 to X of X entries on the top and bottom position

comicrage

HI,

After the datatable is populated, how do I position the Show X entries and Showing 1 to X of X entries on top and bottom of the DataTable?

Thanks

Use sDom - see http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/dom.html

Hi, I looked at the online document and started playing around with the sDom placement.

After playing with different lifp combination, I was able to get the Show X entries and information on the first line and the filter on the next line. This is above the datatable.

Below the datatable, I was able to get teh information (Showing 1 to 10 of XXX entries) on the first line, and the Show X entries and pagination on the next line.

My question, how can I get all three controls all on 1 line for the top and bottom. Thanks..

var oResultGrid = $("[id$='gvSearchResults']");

if (fixEmptyDataRow(oResultGrid)) {

var oTable = oResultGrid.dataTable({
"bPaginate": false,
"bFilter": false,
"bInfo": false,
"sDom": '<"top"lif<"clear">>rt<"bottom"ipl<"clear">>'
});
}
else {

oResultGrid.dataTable({

"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"aaSorting": [[2, 'asc']],
"sDom": '<"top"lif<"clear">>rt<"bottom"ipl<"clear">>'
});
}

Just repeat the control letters that you want - i.e. have two `i` for the paging information elements - one above and one below.
