Display total number of entries next to the "LengthMenu" dropdown

LePatay

Hi,

Is there a ongoing feature would allow to display the total number of rows above the table, inside of the "lengthMenu" label ?

"lengthMenu": "Show _MENU_ entries on _MAX_"

I had to tweak the plugin this way to fit my needs:

// _fnFeatureHtmlLength
...
        div.children().append(
            settings.oLanguage.sLengthMenu.replace('_MENU_', select[0].outerHTML)
            // Create a dynamically updated span
            .replace('_MAX_', '<span id="dt-maxentries"></span>')
        );
...

// fnUpdateInfo
...
        $(nodes).html(out);
        // Update span
        $("#dt-maxentries").text(settings.fnFormatNumber.call(settings, max));
...

Thanks.

Not inside the length menu. You would have to use callbacks for that as you have done.

OK, well, it would have been a useful option to have.
Thanks anyway for your great work!
