Hide or Disable all the components of DataTables.

vyasnikul

First of all this tool is superb and coder friendly, thank you so much for that. I am trying to learn and explore the library. I am using to it on the table and to save the updates of the table I need to check the acknowledgment checkbox in which I have to disable or hide all the controls of the HTML table. Is there any provision for that because pagingType has option to show something at the least. Moreover, I am overriding the lengthMenu to show all records so when I select the option to "show all" is it possible to disable or hide all the page numbers & first, next, previous, last buttons?

Hi @vyasnikul ,

You can remove the controls with dom, but you can only do that at initialisation. So, when that checkbox is pressed, you could do something like this here.

Cheers,

Colin

@colin That worked out for me thanks, also as an alternative I found out that we can invoke the div element by id and hide it manually.

For Eg:

 $('#data_paginate').hide(); // div container for page numbers
 $('#data_length').hide(); // div container for length

Yep, I would us dom though - as the element IDs may change in future releases.
