Can I add a number (1000) to info _START_ ?

Hi,

Can I add a number (1000) to START , I want START to start with 1001, for example.
$('#example').dataTable( {
"language": {
"info": "Showing START to END of TOTAL entries"
}
} );

Thanks
Jin

Not with the language.info as that's a hardcoded value, but you can create your own to over-write what's there - something like this,

Colin,

Somehow below datatable info text displays empty , could you help?

var table = $('#cfsEntryDetailDT').DataTable();
$('#cfsEntryDetailDT').on('page.dt', function() {
  var info = table.page.info();
  $('#cfsEntryDetailDT_info').text('Showing ' + (info.start + 1000)*1 + ' to ' + (info.end + 1000)*1 + ' of ' + (info.recordsTotal + 1000)*1 + ' records');

});

I suspect the problem is the draw event comes after the page event so the -event draw event is updating the info element with whatever is in language.info. If you are doing what Colin's example shows the the empty text is overwriting your line 4 statement. Use the draw event as Colin shows.

If this doesn't work for you please provide a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug.

When I use draw, it works.
