Search

I think you are looking for the pageLength option to set the initial page length. Kevin

Also what is your initComplete function doing that needs

than using the i18n initialisation options as this would

the dropdown arrow (my initial example was here). But,

Within initComplete, the initialisation wouldn't have completed, so table would be undefined. You can use this.api() to get the table object there - something like this: http://live.datatables.net/bedukufu/6/edit Colin

had both fnInitComplete and initComplete defined. They are the

server for both the initial page and then also

Use search or searchCols to define the initial table search. Kevin

Thanks man! But regarding my initial question, you don't think it's wrong that drawBack() is being called 11 times when I load my page?

You can hide the HTML table or container the table is in until Datatables initializes. Then in initComplete display the hidden element. Or you can display a processing element before initializing Datatables then turn it of in `-option initComplete. Kevin
