display number of elements in links instead of combobox

fredhunter

hi, my question is this.
i have for example 300 elements in a table, what i want to do its display something like this in the footer:

show 20 50 60 all

instead of a combobox selecting the 20, 50 or 60 elements in the table.

i´v been searching but i cant find anything.....some plugin pheraps?

thanks a lot for your help!!!!

Check out the pagination plugins here: http://www.datatables.net/plug-ins/pagination

You might have to write your own, but it's not that hard to do

The length change plug-ins is the one you want: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnLengthChange . With that you can just attach a listener to your links (which you could put in place using a technique like this: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/advanced_init/dom_toolbar.html - or any other way you want to do it), which will call the plug-in function to change the length.

ok, in my jsp i have this:



$(document).ready(function() {
$('#transfer').dataTable( {
"aaSorting": [[ 2, "asc" ]],
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bPaginate": true,
"bLengthChange":true,
"bFilter": true,
"bSort": true,
"bInfo": false,

"bAutoWidth": true } );
} );
oTable = $('#transfer').dataTable();
oTable.fnLengthChange(oTable, 3);
}


and i just copied the plugin into my .js

how can i call fnLengthChange if y click some link in the table?

am i doing something wrong?
