How can I swap placement of the search field and show entries?

tidelipop

I just want the search field to be to the left and the show entries to the right.
I tried sDom, but I don't really get it?

Well, I figured out by altering the css-file.

[code]
.dataTables_length {
width: 40%;
float: right;
text-align: right;
}

.dataTables_filter {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
[/code]

Hey,
I tried above style but for some reason "Search:" label resides right in between. The search textbox on left side (not fully on left side though) and "show entries" on the right side. Am I missing something else here? sDom is "ltip".

HI veeta,

If you have a look at your page with Firebug (etc) then it will likely become clear which CSS statement is causing your problems. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure. :-)
