Preamble

It can be useful to have DataTables initialise more than one table with a single call can for them to each have individual ColVis controllers. All this requires is a suitable jQuery selector to be used, and DataTables and ColVis will take care of the rest - as shown in this example.

Live example

Examples

• Basic initialisation
• Activate with a mouseover rather than click
• Custom text in the button
• Using with jQuery UI ThemeRoller
• Excluding columns from the show / hide list
• Two tables initialised together - individual controls
• Two tables initialised together - shared control
• Alternative styling and reset to original
• Customisation of the button label with a callback

Initialisation code

$(document).ready( function () {
	$('table').dataTable( {
		"sDom": 'C<"clear">lfrtip'
	} );
} );
