Is there anyway to suppress the label information on the page length combo box?

cwelch

I've got a layout I like, but the labels associated with the page length combo box are quite ugly:

I'd like to suppress the labels or have the labels to the left and right of the box, is it possible?

Here is my java script for the DOM spec:

          var table = $('#instruments').DataTable({
            serverSide: true,
            dom:        'frtp<"bottom"l><"clear">',
            ajax:       "/api/instruments/?format=datatables",
            columns: [
                {data: "name"},
                {data: "ticker"},
                {data: "type"},
                {data: "cusip"},
                {data: "exchange.abbrev"},
                {data: "atr"},
                {data: "active"},
                {
                    data: null,
                    defaultContent: '',
                    className: 'select-checkbox',
                    orderable: false
                },
            ],
            columnDefs: [
                {
                    render: function(data, type, row) {
                        return data.toFixed(2);
                    },
                    targets: 5
                },          
            ],

            buttons: [
                {extend: "create", editor: editor},
                {extend: "edit", editor: editor},
                {extend: "remove", editor: editor}
            ]
        });
        table.buttons().container()
            .appendTo($('.col-md-6:eq(0)', table.table().container()));

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if I understand what you are asking for but maybe the language.lengthMenu will do what you want.

Specifically I want to suppress the "Show ... entries" labels around the page length selector.

I previously did have a look at the language.lengthMenu option, but it only allows specification of the content of the page length selector, so it didn't help.

Thanks for your reply though!

You mean like this?

EDIT: I should add this uses the language.lengthMenu option not the lengthMenu option.

Perfect, I miss understood that part of the documentation.

That is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks for your help!
