Bootstrap4 CSS attribute 'display: none'

mBeier

Hey,

in the past I used DataTables with Bootstrap 3, actually im refractoring for Bootstrap 4.

there is a strange behaviour with DataTables and Bootstrap 4.
First it always adds a 'display: none' css property to my table div.

-> this is from my rendered page

<table id="devices" class="table display responsive dataTable no-footer" role="grid" aria-describedby="devices_info" style="width:  557px; display: none;">

if I remove the display: none property manually the table shows up but looks strange .. if I also remove the dataTable class, the table looks like a normal bootstrap 4 table, but the width is not set to 100% to the div.

if I change the 'width: xxx px' property to 100% it has its full width.

I dont actually know where my failure is.

  });
}

// data example

const deviceTableOpts = $('#devices').DataTable({

Edit: I have the same Problem with your example Bootstrap 4 DataTable (copy&paste)**

Hey,

I actually can't edit the post anymore but i have to add, when i remove the 'table' class, all data is shown, but without bootstrap css styles.

Can you link to a page showing the issue please? This example shows DataTables working with Bootstrap 4 as expected.

The page is local at the moment.

I also copy&pasted the example on my page, but there is still no table showing up, there is always the css attribute 'display: none' added to the table .. not even to any class, the attribute is only added to this element.

Element {
    width: 100%;
    display: none;
}
table.dataTable {
    clear: both;
    margin-top: 6px !important;
    margin-bottom: 6px !important;
    max-width: none !important;
    border-collapse: separate !important;
}
.table {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
    background-color: transparent;
}
table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}
*, ::after, ::before {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

Hey,

wow, okay I spend so many hours trying to fix this problem.

window.onload = function () {
                $('.table').hide();
};

but with this script, the table can't show up.

thanks for your help allan.
