Seeing Full Rendered Table before dataTables render

josh4car

Hi guys.

I have a slight problem where I am building a large table through php. When the page loads the full table renders for a brief second before dataTables grabs it and re-renders it to my chosen settings. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there anyway I can hide this table and then have dataTables show it on draw?

You could use the Ajax source method instead of rendering your own elements.

If you feel the need to render elements for people that don't use Javascript, put that into the tag.
