Jump to Page?

robbie.bp

I cannot figure out a way to add a feature to allow a user to enter in a page number and jump to that page.

It there are 100 pages it only shows 5 to click on.

I need to be able to enter in 34 and have it jump right to that page.

is this possible to add in?

Perhaps this pagination plug-in will do what you want: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/pagination#text_input . Otherwise there is this API plug-in: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnDisplayStart .

This is perfect!

How do I implement it though?

I saw those and I added the input js file to my server and linked to it and added the Doc. ready.

when I open the page I get an error can not re-initialize and something about check API

As the error says, you can't reinitialise a table (without first destroying it). If you get this error it means you have two calls to $().dataTable() for your table. You need to either combine them or remove the redundant one.
