Hi.

How to hide table if it is no matching records found?

Thanks!

Please post in a suitable thread (i.e. a new one) rather than hijacking another thread.

Excuse me, I was mistaken a thread!

I want to hide table heading if it is not found any record. How it to make? Thanks!

You could use fnDrawCallback to run a function on each draw. With that function, you can query the DOM to see if there are any rows in the table and if not set display:none on the thead.

Thanks Allan!

My code:
[code]
"fnDrawCallback": function() {
if (this.fnSettings().fnRecordsDisplay()==0) $('#table_1 thead').hide();
else $('#table_1 thead').show();
}
[/code]
Working!

I found if the thead is hide, the PDF generated by TableTools will lose its table format and its content is illegible. The data overlaps each other.
