How to tell DataTables include footer in generated table?

tiendq

Hi,

I created a DataTable instance in its simple form with following code, it works well except there is no footer. I have seen an option to include footer anywhere. How to?

Thanks,

var table = $("#test").DataTable();

Just use the tfoot..

<table id="test">
    <thead>
    <tr>
        <th>A</th>
        <th>B</th>
        <th>C</th>
    </tr>
    </thead>

    <tfoot>
    <tr>
        <th>A</th>
        <th>B</th>
        <th>C</th>
    </tr>
    </tfoot>

    <tbody>
    <tr>
        <td>a</td>
        <td>b</td>
        <td>c</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

But I use zero configuration with just an empty table tag, columns are configured in initiate code.

For example: <table id="test"></table>

This is correct - there is no option to tell DataTables to create a footer for the table at the moment when there doesn't already exist a footer in the DOM.

I have added a footer manually with inputs for column search but it'd be better if there is a built-in feature.

Thanks for your answers.

This would be a great idea for a feature enhancemwnt tho :-)

Maybe ill make a quick plugin for it
