Is the "new TableTools()" example working properly?

I searched for an answer, but couldn't find one on the forum or google

I was troubleshooting an issue where changing buttons during setup wouldn't change what was displayed and found the same problem on the example page.

The example is here http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/TableTools/alt_init.html

The initialization for the example page is:
[code]
$(document).ready( function () {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
var oTableTools = new TableTools( oTable, {
"buttons": [
"copy",
"csv",
"xls",
"pdf",
{ "type": "print", "buttonText": "Print me!" }
]
} );

$('#demo').before( oTableTools.dom.container );
} );
[/code]

However, it displays the 5 default buttons without a customized "print" button. The "Print" button does not say "Print me!" as was specified in setup.


Is this an error or am I mistaken?

    Not entirely sure how I managed that (possibly something to do with my work on DataTables 1.10) but it should be sType and sButtonText: http://datatables.net/extras/tabletools/button_options#sButtonText .

    Sorry about that.

    Thank you for the fast response.

    I redid the example here http://live.datatables.net/aninuf/4/edit

    I changed it to sType and sButtonText, but nothing changed. I then removed both the "print" button and "xls" button. It still displayed 5 default buttons.

    Further experiment showed that if I modify TableTools.DEFAULTS.aButtons the buttons will change, but this doesn't seem like the proper method of customizing buttons.

    Uh - I missed `buttons` in my dodgy example as well... It should be aButtons: http://live.datatables.net/aninuf/5/edit .

    And I think sExtends rather than sType... That example didn't really go very well did it... :-(

    Sorry for the delay of my response.

    It works great now. Thank you very much.

    This is probably my misunderstanding, but the buttons don't seem to be functional. On the live example, only the print button seems to do anything.

    The TableTools CSS wasn't being included: http://live.datatables.net/aninuf/6/edit
