How to set the default number of rows displayed

peterbrowne

I have tried using "pageLength": 50, to set the fault number of records displayed in a datatables page, but it's not working. The page only displays 5 records per pagination. Any ideas?

var table = $( '#program_table' ).DataTable( { responsive: true, "pageLength": 50, columnDefs: [ { targets: [1], render: $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis( 100, true ) } ], ajax: "program_data/program_data.php", dom: "Bfrtip", columns: [ { data: "program_name" }, { data: "program_details" }, { data: "modified" }, { data: "modified_by" } ], select: { style: 'os', selector: 'td:first-child' }, buttons: [] } );

Mmm, seems to be working now...

That's certainly the way to do it. Possibly you had state saving enabled or the browser was caching an old file.
