v1.7.6 IE9 default pagination button issue

bettenk

Hello. I just started supporting a webapp using dataTables v1.7.6 and on IE9, the default pagination back buttons "<" and "<<" are displaying incorrectly. I'm new to dataTables; what I have been told about how dataTables were used in this webapp is that all defaults were used.

The issue in IE9 is that "<" is showing in place of "<<" and there is no "button" where "<<" should be, just a blank placeholder that is clickable - clicking on the incorrect "<" button has the correct action for where the button is (back to page 1) and clicking where missing "<" should be goes back one page. The pagination numbers and forward buttons ">" and ">>" are correct and functional.

Here is a snippet of the rendered HTML:
[code]
Showing 1 to 25 of 481 records

<


1
2
3

>
>>

[/code]

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this...

1.7.6 is very out of date now. I'd suggest firstly upgrading to the latest release and then linking to a test case showing the issue please.

FIXED: in jquery.dataTables.js (v1.7.6) file, the default pagination back characters '<' and '<<' needed to be encoded so IE9 would render both properly:

[code]
this.oLanguage = {
"sProcessing": "Processing...",
"sLengthMenu": "Show _MENU_ records",
"sZeroRecords": "No matching records found",
"sEmptyTable": "No data available in table",
"sInfo": "Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ records",
"sInfoEmpty": "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 records",
"sInfoFiltered": "(filtered from _MAX_ total records)",
"sInfoPostFix": "",
"sSearch": "Search:",
"sUrl": "",
"oPaginate": {
"sFirst": "<<",
"sPrevious": "<",
"sNext": ">",
"sLast": ">>"
},
"fnInfoCallback": null
};
[/code]
