Column not displaying all data with long string

peiwai

I have a table column called "description" with varchar(50). When the table is loaded on datatable, part of the data in description column are not displayed. Is there any setting to allow all the string get displayed?

By default Datatables will display the data provided. If the full set of data isn't shown then we will need to find out why. Are you using columns.render or some other Datatables functionality that might cause the data from not being fully displayed? Have you checked that the client is receiving the full data? Maybe us the browser's network inspector to view the XHR result.

Can you post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug?

Thank you. The problem was indeed not related to datatable, the string was too long for the description column so I altered the column width. The string is all displayed properly on datatable now.
