how to show page navigation twice

iniayma@hotmail.com

Great tool! Is there a way I can show a full number page navigation two times on the search results, at the top and also at the bottom?

Hi iniayma,

At the moment, the only way to do this would be to create a custom pagination plug-in which will do what you are looking for ( http://datatables.net/development/pagination ) since DataTables does not currently support duplicate control elements. This is something that will be addressed in a future release (although not entirely sure when yet!).

Another option is to clone the pagination controls on each draw and use them as event delegation, and then keep cloning them on each draw to keep them up to date. So for example, if you client the third 'span' element on the cloned control, it would dispatch a 'click' event on the third span element of the real controls.

Regards,
Allan

Allan,
A slightly differnent question, can the page navigation be moved to the top easily?
Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes indeed - just use the sDom parameter:

Hey Jim,

Have you managed to double the navigation tools? How have you done it? Or is it already available Allan?

Cheers!

Now available in DataTables 1.6 :-)

Here is an example:
http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/dom_multiple_elements.html

You can duplicate (or have as many copies of a control as you want, 3, 4, n...) all controls, with the exception of the table itself ('t') in sDom.
