override processing indicator

periklis

Hello,
is there a way to completely override the processing indicator? I have a general processing indicator which I use in my site, and I would like my datatables instances to call this upon ajax start/finish loading.
Thanks in advance

Yes indeed there is :-). In 1.9 what you can do is listen for the "processing" event from DataTables and show / hide your own processing indicator based on that: http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.beta.3/#processing . Then simply drop the "r" option from sDom (which means DataTables won't add the HTML needed for its processing indicator) and that's that :-)

Hey thanks, that was just what I was looking for! (I also had to upgrade to 1.9, all working smooth! )
For anyone interested here's how I implemented it:
[code]
$('#table_id').dataTable().bind('processing',
function (e, oSettings, bShow) {
if (bShow) {
show_my_ajax_indicator();
} else {
hide_my_ajax_indicator();
}
});
[/code]
