Setting the datatable min height

andreacoba

Hi, I'm wondering how to properly set the height of a jquery datatable without messing up its rows height. I tried setting sScrollY and it doesn't do anything. I tried setting the min-height property and two issues occur: the rows become very large (height) and the datatable height doesn't change... I also tried just setting the height property using CSS and the same issue as with min-height occurred.

Any ideas?

I don't quite understand I'm afraid - the min-height of the table itself? I don't think that is how HTML tables work...

What you can do is set the min-height on the wrapper element, which will cause the control as a whole to take up that minimum height (.dataTable_wrapper is the call you want).
