Remove "Show entries"

Remove "Show entries"

I tested with using something like the one below from this page without any luck. Seems like the dom parameters do not apply.

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "dom": 'rtip'
} );

When I tested with something like the one below, changes apply, but do not know how to use it to remove "Show entries" control

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "paging":   false,
        "ordering": false,
        "info":     false
    } );
} );

    I copied your first code snippet here:

    When you say "Show entries control" I assume you mean this:

    This is the Length Change element. The example with your dom configuration removes this element. Is this what you are looking for?

    Yes, only that it also removes search as well. This is my html:

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="datatables.min.css"/> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="datatables.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready( function () {
      $('#example').dataTable( {
        "dom": 'rtip'
      } );
    } );
    </script>
    </head>

    The dom docs describe what element each letter represents:

    l - length changing input control
    f - filtering input
    t - The table!
    i - Table information summary
    p - pagination control
    r - processing display element
    

    The paging buttons show in my example. You will need to add f to place the search input. Like this:

    Not sure what you mean by removing the styles. Maybe you are getting a Javascript error - look at your browser's console. If this doesn't help then please post a link to your page or a test case showing the issues. You can update my example.

    Yeah, it was my bad. Adding "f" at the end of the line added search box at the bottom, that is why I could not see it.
