How to set the default number of rows displayed

peterbrowne

I have tried using "pageLength": 50, to set the fault number of records displayed in a datatables page, but it's not working. The page only displays 5 records per pagination. Any ideas?

var table = $( '#program_table' ).DataTable( {
                responsive: true,
                "pageLength": 50,
                columnDefs: [ {
                    targets: [1],
                    render: $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis( 100, true )
                } ],
                ajax: "program_data/program_data.php",
                dom: "Bfrtip",
                columns: [ {
                    data: "program_name"
                }, {
                    data: "program_details"
                }, {
                    data: "modified"
                }, {
                    data: "modified_by"
                } ],
                select: {
                    style: 'os',
                    selector: 'td:first-child'
                },
                buttons: []
            } );

Mmm, seems to be working now...

That's certainly the way to do it. Possibly you had state saving enabled or the browser was caching an old file.
