iDisplayLength

bigbrer

Im using DataTables 1.8.2 with Scroller 1.0.1, when I instantiate datatable
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#models').dataTable( {
'sScrollY':'300px',
'iDisplayLength':10,
'sAjaxSource':'<?= $ajaxSource ?>',
'bServerSide':true,
'bDeferRender':true,
'sDom':'frtiS'
} );
});

The iDisplayLength is always 3, whether I set it explicitly or not. I removed anywhite spaces.
But the value wont change.

Is the table hidden (in a display:none) element when your initialise it? Scroller will override iDisplayLength with a value it things is suitable based on the height of the scrolling table - in this case it should be 300px, but I suspect it is failing to find the height.

Turns out you cant use jquery 1.4.2 :) I plugged in jquery 1.7.1 with no problem. Thanks for your help man. Definitely making a donation to this project. Really good stuff.

Ah! Damn - sorry. I did actually know that. There was a bug in jQuery whereby reading the height could do odd things. I think 1.5 fixed that. I'll add a dependency note to Scroller :-)

Delighted you like DataTables!
