Search

Sounds like you want to read the documentation for ajax.data and send the extra search information using that. Allan

it seems that iDiplsayStart doesn't exist in the GET dictionary in datatables.py

Same issue for me. I just commented the two lines ... so far so good, but i hope there won't be any other problem related to my own fix. Anyone to say what "// Protect against out of sequence returns" means ?

Thanks, Ronald. Your code works great.

Well that was a quick one indeed :) Thanks, I'll look into it :)

next step, when I add "aLengthMenu": [[5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100 , -1], [5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, "All"]], "iDisplayLength" : 10, it works also. Seems as if it does not work with the LengthMenu defaults.

Sure - use the fnPageChange API method.

When I add the above class to my existing loading div, it just ends up floating it over the table regardless which isn't what we are looking for at all. You want to use an external node, rather than the one used by DataTables? Sorry, I didn't understand that before. Just adding the DataTables class to your node would of course just apply the styles for that class to the element, so yes, that would be useless. If you want to use a node external to the table, use the processing event (which is an event not an initialisation option): [code] contractTable.on( 'processing', function ( e, o, processing ) { ... } ); [/code] Allan

Right on. I trust it is fixed in the latest version (as seen in the example you posted). I'm in the unfortunate position of having to alter the behavior of a rather elaborate customization of DataTables+TableTools, written by someone else. Unfortunately, it incorporates old versions of both libraries, so dropping in updated TableTools and DataTables will break it. Doesn't help that, while I'm competent in js and jquery, I'm no expert. I just have to find a way around it. Thanx again for your time.
