Replace flash 'Export' buttons

Replace flash 'Export' buttons

DatatableUser1DatatableUser1 Posts: 2Questions: 1Answers: 0

I am using DataTables_v1.7.6/jquery.dataTables.js

The Export (csv & xls) buttons are flash enabled. How to replace them with cleaner buttons?

I have this in my code:

"oTableTools": {
"aButtons": [
{"sExtends": "csv", "sFieldBoundary": '', "sFileName": "Report.csv","mColumns": [ 0,1,2,3,4,5 ]},
{"sExtends": "xls", "sFieldBoundary": '', "sFileName": "Report.xls","mColumns": [ 0,1,2,3,4,5 ]},
],
"sSwfPath": "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/plugins/TableTools-2.0.1/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf"
}

    I would suggest using the HTML5 buttons - Flash is dying an will be removed from browsers by the end of the year.

    No. The Buttons library requires DataTables 1.10.

    1.7.6 is from March 2011 and is no longer supported. I would strongly suggest upgrading.
