But i could not able to view PDF and Excel buttons near to the Print Button. Can anybody click the above link (http://datatables.net/extensions/tabletools/ ) and see either you can see these series of buttons in firefox and other browsers except chrome. I installed latest version of flashplayers too but still could not able to see the buttons :)

thanks...

I have the same problem :
- Online (on DT site server), things work under Firefox/chrome with file-explorer opening to save...

• But Offline (localhost web-server) under Firefox/chrome: buttons show (pdf,excel,csv) but on clicking no file-explorer pops up !

Seems to be OS settings or kind of related. What are the things to set then ??

Well, i've just tried Collection-buttons from TollsTable examples (collection.html) over the 'DT-Live' ==> Link: http://live.datatables.net/lumekeru/2/edit?html,css,js,output

It seems not to show the buttons :/

You have to have the flash plugin installed for each browser for it to work. If you disable the flash plugin for Firefox the buttons will not appear - but the buttons will continue to appear in Chrome and IE if you leave flash enabled on those browsers.

YEp, i finally got it working locally thanks to Allan topic reading here :

go here : http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

and click on always activate (green) then file-explorer pops up :)

Hi All,
Thanks for your updates. Actually in my firefox -> Toos -> Add-ons Manager - > Shockwave Flash -> status was Always Activate but still i was not able to see the PDF and Excel Button. But after i made them to deactive and again activate i could able to see the above buttons.

Once again thanks a lot for all of your valuable time :)

Flash has a security issue at the moment and Mozilla have disabled Flash until it is patched. You need to manually enable it if you want to use it.

A non-Flash version is coming soon :-)

That would be awsome Allan, to get a non Flash version :)
