How to position the Paging dropdown

jkard883

I would like the paging drop down to be in a different location (under the table and to the right) but not seeing how to do that. I looked at sDom, but don't really understand how to set it that way (it's a bit cryptic).

Any advice on how I would set the position of the drop down?

Thanks

sDom is a bit cryptic :-(. DataTables 1.10 will see some serious work on trying to make it a lot more obvious... However, basically each feature in the table is a letter in sDom so you just move the letter around the string.

Having said that, the paging control is at the bottom right by default ( http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html ). Do you mean the length change control? If so, then you could use sDom as: frtipl (you might need a small CSS change as well, depending on what you r current CSS is).

Thank Allan!

I think I may have confused the UI elements, what I'm speaking about is the drop down that lists the amount of rows displayed on the table. I think it shows 10/25/50/100 as defaults.

Right now it's at the top left, but I'd like to move it to the bottom left. How would I set its position to do this?

Any thoughts on this Allan?

Sure - this can be done with the sDom parameter. Example: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/dom.html :-)
