DataTables buttons, print only if visible and if not a certain class

NoMan2000

I'm trying to export from DataTables in the HTML5 formats. But I can't seem to do a compound selector like ":visible :not(.noExport)"

Is there anyway to do that?

Alternatively, a combination of something being both visible and an allowed element as an array, object, or string, i.e. [0,1,2, ':visible"] or something along those lines.

Could you show me the code you are using, or ideally a test case please? I'm not entirely clear on where you are using this selector?

Surely.

<deleted since Allan already saw it.>

There's two major problems:

1.) Everything should be output as text, not as html.
2.) I don't know how to remove the "actions" column, since that is not part of the dataset that the client will need.

Thanks! Unfortunately that doesn't look like it is possible at the moment. jQuery uses $().filter() to do compound selectors. But there is no opertunity to use that with the export options at the moment.

I'll need to have a think about how this can be done - I can see it would be useful, but it isn't something that is possible in the current API I'm afraid.
