Number of rows to display not working

keyroche

Hello,
I have set my code for the DataTables initialization sets the number of rows to show as 5, 20, 30, 40, 50 in the selection, as seen below:
[code]"sLengthMenu": 'Display '+
'5'+
'20'+
'30'+
'40'+
'50'+
'All'+
' records',[/code]
I have 6 records in this particular table. With my thinking, it should show 5 of them since the first option is 5, but it shows all 6 records. If you select another number it changes to show that number, and it you go back to click on the 5 it works, but it does not show 5 to start with.

Is there a separate parameter to set up for the starting number of records to show?

Thank you,
Key Roche'

Never mind, I figured it out. I have to use the "iDisplayLength" param when initializing it.

I'm having this same problem even though I'm using the "iDisplayLength" param. Anyone have any idea on why this isn't working?

Here is my initialization

[code]

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable({
"iDisplayLength": 10,
"aaSorting": [[2,"DESC" ]]
});
} );

[/code]
