dom position

johngtrs

Hi,

I don't understand how the dom works. I want the length menu at the top right, the global search at the left top and 2 paginations on the top and on the bottom. Could you help me ?

this dom: 'fltip' doesn't work.

More specifics would help, but I did notice that with the 1.10.x release the documentation seems might be incorrect? the old "sDom" syntax seems to still work, whereas "dom" does not.

Try "sDom" : "fltip" instead and let us know how you make out.

NOTE: I had a look at the code and it looks like it's "dom"/"sDom" is going to be fixed for 1.11.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I used "sDom" but this doesn't work again. No changes. How can I do ?

Hey John,

After looking into this I think I am incorrect. The documentation is fine actually.

Dom should work.

Example:

$('#example').dataTable( {
"dom": 'lrtip'
} );

The dom works if :

• I want to set 2 paginations dom: "flptip"
• I want to set all items at the top or bottom dom: "tflip" / dom: "flipt"

Btw the dom doesn't work if :

• I want to reverse the gobal search position with length position because I want the global search to the left and the length changing input control to the right. Then I can't doing dom: "fltip" there is no changes.

In firebug inspector the div's order don't wanna change

<div id="my_filter" class="dataTables_filter">
<label>
</div>
<div id="my_length" class="dataTables_length">
<label>
</div>
