show nothing until filter is selected

Using this example http://live.datatables.net/tobabovo/19/ I'm looking into how to NOT show data until someone selects a filter. In this example Grade

Hi @54696d20 ,

You can use jQuery's hide() and show() methods as in this here.

Thanks @colin I probably should have stated that I knew that way. Didn't know if you had something built in to where you could still show the table, but have a default message stating "select filter to view" Kind of like when you have nothing to show and you can use 'emptyTable' to show the message.

Hi, nope, there's nothing like that, I'm afraid. The control is outside the scope of the table so yo would need to do that method in the example,
