infinite scrolling - no vertical scrollbar

Hi,

I'm creating my datatable like this:

[code] entityTable = $("#entityTable").dataTable({
"bScrollCollapse": true,
"sScrollY": "400px",
"oLanguage": {
"sSearch": "Global Search:"
},
"bSortClasses": false,
"bScrollInfinite": true,
"aaSorting": [] // disable initial sorting for performance reasons
});[/code]

but no vertical scrollbar appears. If I disable vertical scrolling, the normal pagination works just fine. How can I begin to debug this?

thanks,
orange_roughy

    You might need to show more rows by default - http://datatables.net/usage/options#iDisplayLength - try setting it to 20.

    Thanks for the reply, allan. That didn't fix it. Now the table shows 20 rows (of several thousand), but still no vertical scrollbar and no other controls. What other information can I provide to assist in debugging?

    thanks,

    Can you give me a link so I can see what is going on? Presumably the 20 rows that are being displayed are taking up more than 400px?

    It's not a public website, so here's a link to a screenshot:

    Okay - I think the answer is to update iDisplayLength to 40. Failing that what happens if you set the scrolling size to 200px? The picture shows that the size is less than 400px for 20 rows - so scrolling doesn't engage since there isn't enough data to force the scrolling. Possibly there should be a check in DataTables for this situation - but I think setting the display length to 40 will do the job.

    I would like to thank everyone for putting effort to solve this issue. I installed the application on my machine and found an unusual error similar to the one posted on this thread. I have tried to search for a solution on the internet but had no luck. I am glad I found this site and applied to method to resolve the issue. I am happy to announce that it worked like a charm. Thank you

    ^^^^^ spammer

    Edited by Allan - deleted. Nice that the DataTables forums have reached the level where they attract spam... Sort of... :-(

    Yep, that did the trick allan. It would be nice if datatables could check for this problem. But thanks for the help!
