Combination of manipulation of selectable values and language destroys default value in search field

RoloTomasi

Hi all,

I want to manipualte the default value of the search field AND use german language.

This could be the mechanism for default value

        $('#example').DataTable( {
                lengthMenu: [ [ -1, 10  ], ["Alle", 10] ]
        } );

and this one for the language

    $('#example').DataTable( {
        language: {
          lengthMenu: "_MENU_ Einträge",
        }
    } );

But: How do I combine them?

This suggestion at https://datatables.net/reference/option/language.lengthMenu is quite a good solution.

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "language": {
    "lengthMenu": 'Zeige <select>'+
      '<option value="-1">Alle</option>'+   
      '<option value="10">10</option>'+
      '</select> Eintraege'
  }
} );    

But it destroys the default value, which I want to see as "Alle". It always shows "10".

Can anyone help for getting the default value?

Thanks it advance.

Maybe i'm not understanding the problem but it seems like the combination of the two works here:

Hi kthorngren,

thank you, that's it. And I got it myself. This one works for me.

$('#example').DataTable( 
   {
    lengthMenu: [ [ -1, 10], ["Alle", 10] ],

    language: {
        lengthMenu : '<select>'+
                     '<option value="10">10</option>'+
                     '<option value="-1">Alle</option>'+
                     '</select> Eintr&auml;ge'
                   }
  }
);
