radova: Feature request for styling the select menu

allan

Moved from the 'support information' thread, which isn't suitable for support / feature requests :-)


Great work Allan! I have a very small suggestion for the next release which will enable us to style the dropdown box used to change number of rows displayed (bLengthChange). Just adding an ID field in would be enough.
I added an ID called sTableId+'_bLengthChange_select' to your datatables code and then used stylish-select (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/stylish-select-box) to change look of the dropdown box. However, it would be great if we could have an "official" ID for this purpose.

The 'div' wrapper to the select element has an id of sTableId+'_length', and a class of 'dataTables_length'. Can you not just use that information and add a 'select' to the selector (i.e. 'div.dataTables_length select'). What advantage would an ID have over this?
