Anup Roy

Hello, I have one requirement and here is the details. I want to add one button(Go) after "Show Entries". Once user select number of entries from drop down and click on Go button, datatable result need to refresh based on number selected. Could you please help me to resolve and let me know if you need any details.
Please note, Unless user click on Go button datatable result should not refresh.

Sounds like you should create your own length change input. Use the dom option to remove the default length change option or set the lengthChange to false.

You button click event will use page.len() to set the page length.

You can use the technique in the Custom toolbar element example to display your custom element with the Datatables elements.

Understood, Do you have questions about the above recommendations?

I guess you can turn off the Datatables change event and use the button to get and set the page length. Something like this:
