  Sounds like you want to set default options.

  Thanks, Kevin (@kthorngren), that's one option, but I only want to make about a third of my tables "static" so I'd be back to the same issue of setting those options for the other tables.

  I'm sure there's a way to approach it the way I'm thinking, but I just don't see an example.

  You could combine two configuration objects together, something like this:

  var staticOptions = {
      info: false,
      ordering: false,
      paging: false,
      searching: false,
  };
  
  var tableOptions = {
    select: true
  };
  
  var table = new DataTable('#example', 
    $.extend( staticOptions, tableOptions )
  );

  Or you can do something like this;

  var staticOptions = {
      info: false,
      ordering: false,
      paging: false,
      searching: false,
  };
  
  
  var table = new DataTable('#example', 
    {
      ...staticOptions,
      select: true
    }
  );

  Its more a. Javascript exercise than Datatables. You just need to find your favorite way to combine two Javascript objects.

  Oooh -- I like that second option!

  I was trying something like that before but was leaving out the ... part and it obviously wouldn't work!

  As always, thanks Kevin!
