iDisplayLength doesn't actually seem to do anything

rstudner

I'm using datatables 1.9.1.

I load data from the server manually, and just set aaData and aoColumnDefs to display stuff how I like.. simple.

if I set iDisplayLength to 1,5,10,12,15,19... doesn't matter.. I get 20 rows on the screen (there happen to be 20 rows in the array).

Is there a general reason that this happens? (again -- not using built in ajax or server-side stuff).
