ColVis with checkboxes only (without 'show/hide' button)

thebasti

Is it possible to somehow get ColVis to always display column checkboxes? I'd like to have a list of columns with checkboxes and eliminate the dropdown.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Not with ColVis itself, but ColVis is just a wrapper around fnSetColumnVis ( `column().visible()` in 1.10), so you could easily just add checkboxes to your document and call the methods using an event handler.

This example shows it with links:

1.10: http://next.datatables.net/examples/api/show_hide.html
