How to show different num of entries via some other element

Miroslav

Hello.

Default element to show num of entries is select[name=datatable_length].
How can I change this num with, for example on click:
[code]10
20
30
40[/code]
...

I mean, I want to do it with "click" event.

Thanks.

Not documented, but you can get the settings object, change _iDisplayLength, then redraw

[code]
function change_DisplayLength(displaylen) {
oTable = $('#yourTable').dataTable( { bRetrieve: true } );
oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();

oSettings._iDisplayLength =displayleni;
oTable.fnDraw(); // this will dump the user back on page 1, so you might want to calculate the correct page and jump to that page for them after a change
}
[/code]
