Adding DOM stops my fixedHeader from working

Hi, the problem that I am having is that when I add the DOM which is commented in the link, the fixed header property stops working. What I am trying to achieve is that I want to have the "number of entries" at the top right WHILST having the fixed header property working. But the "number of entries" is stuck on the bottom right. I know that having the " dom: 'if' " would allow for the entries amount to go to the top. Is there another way around this? To have the exact same functionality that I have now but the entries amount on the top right hand corner.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

You need to include t for the table otherwise issues like what you see occur. Does this example do what you want?

Hi Kevin, thank for your help. But now the Search is on the bottom left. Is there a way to have both the Search AND the entries at the top?

Yes, the dom docs explain how to lay out everything. There are some good examples at the bottom of the page to help fine tune the dom layout. Change the dom option to dom: "ift", to move the search input ('f') before the table. See this example:

If you still need help please update the test case with what you tried so we can help with the code directly.
