How I adjust the location of the ColVis filter button?

Shatner

Hello everyone.

I am wondering how I would set the location of the ColVis filter button.

https://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/extensions/ColVis/examples/simple.html

For example, the show/hide columns button is on a different level as the search and show entries. What if I wanted them on the same level?

Thank you.

Shatner,

In that page the ColVis element is placed before a div element with a class value of clear. Meaning it creates a block element that does not accept content on either side, thus pushing any following element on a new "row".

If you remove this part from the "dom" property: <"clear">

Then the button will be placed on the same line, if space permits. You are free to apply your own styling to position it where you want.

Hope this helps,

Shatner

Thank you, Ashbjorn.

This solves the problem.
