scrolling to bttom of table not working

emann3

trying to get datatables to scroll to the bottom row.

my code:

        transactions_table.on('draw', function () {
            var num_rows = transactions_table.data().length;
            //transactions_table.scroller.toPosition(num_rows - 1);
            transactions_table.row(num_rows - 1).scrollTo();
        });

I have tried either of the 2 lines toposition() and scrollto() and neither works, the table just stays at the top row.

paging, searching, ordering, info are all set to false.

I have tried replacing the "num_rows-1" with just the number 100, still no scroll.

The num_rows variable does get set to the correct # of rows in the data, so the issue is with the scrolling.

Not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks

Your code, using transactions_table.scroller.toPosition(num_rows - 1);, seems to work here:

Maybe you can update the test case to replicate your issue.

Thanks,

As soon as I put paging:false in that test case, all the data disappears.

What am I missing about paging?

If I remove paging:false from my app, I get a paged table, which I don't want.

actually , i had to hit "run with javascript" to get the data back.

but now, with paging: false, the scroll to bottom is broken?

it looks like it has something to do with when on draw is called?

IF I hit "run with javascript" button, data is refreshed, but scrolling doesn't happen.

If I hit the live preview to pop-out, the scroll works.

I can't seem to find it but I do believe scroller needs to have paging enabled. My understanding is that it using the paging to help calculate the rows. @allan can confirm this though.

Is there a reason you want to disable paging?

yes, at one point, running the test case and doing the pop-out ,I got a dt error box saying paging needed to be enabled to use scroller (but I didn't get it all the time?)

I want to not have pages as I need to show all transactions in a scroller. I found where it says I can set page.len(-1) and it should show all rows, but it still shows the page number and goto boxes which doesnt look clean.

You can remove the paging buttons and page length option using the dom option. Just don't include those in the option string.
