with displaying all the columns. Sorry I don't have

I actually had to change the columns parameters to the following. As listed above it threw a jscript error. { extend: 'colvis', text: 'Hide Columns', columns: ':not(:nth-child(-n+2))' } Thanks for the help. John

Another option is to use the columns-selector option to select only visible columns: table.columns(':visible').count(); Allan

The below code works but not sure why I have to add a dealy for the resize of the columns to work. tblObj.draw(false) //add delay setTimeout( function() { tblObj.columns.adjust().draw(false) }, 1);

echo " bindings<br>"; } $globalSearch = array(); $columnSearch = array(); $dtColumns = self::pluck( $columns, 'dt' ); if (isset($request['search']) &&

Yes, the columns option for the columnsToggle button type. There is an example here (although that uses the colvis type). Allan

Also have a look at this example which shows how you built a select based on the data in columns. Allan

enable and disable a column's searchable flag after initialisation.

Whats wrong with using this?? exportOptions: { columns: [1,2,3,4,5,6] }

You are setting data": "description", for columns 3, 4, 5 and 6. They will all show the description data. Do you actually need that property? Where is the data for the table coming from? Allan
