asked on How Can I Better Define Pagination Features Offered in Datatables.js?
I've been asked to edit an existing app by eliminating the "pagination" feature of a third party vendor called "Datatables."
Here's what the page looks like currently:
![screenshot]()
Sweet little package, but the "features" that I have identified with an arrow within the big, black box - those are the guys that I'm needing to eliminate, but only in the event that the number of total rows is 10 or less.
My question is, "How?"
I've read through some documentation, but I'm at a point where I would welcome anyone who's been down this road before to give me some insight.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Chris, I believe I'm poised on the threshold of great things!
First off, here's my 'datatables.js" file. Look at lines #64-70. I can identify how many pages I'm getting ready to render...:
Now, couple that with this:
By setting "length" and "paginate" to "visiblility:hidden," I can accomplish what I'm trying to do.
My dilemma is being able to get this:
var $paging_div = $table.find('.dataTables_l
...to work.
I'm creating the table dynamically, so I can't really "see" what's happening by just referring to the source code. So, I'm targeting the "dataTables_paginate" class, but I'm missing it every time.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can better grab on to that class and set its visiblility to "none?"

// just update an existing chart
if (chartIsRendered) {
marketChart.destroy();

Now, couple that with this:
.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_length,
.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_paginate,
.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_filter,
.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_info {
display: inline-block;
/*visibility:hidden;*/
width: 33%;
padding: .75rem 1.25rem;
}
By setting "length" and "paginate" to "visiblility:hidden," I can accomplish what I'm trying to do.
My dilemma is being able to get this:
var $paging_div = $table.find('.dataTables_l
...to work.
I'm creating the table dynamically, so I can't really "see" what's happening by just referring to the source code. So, I'm targeting the "dataTables_paginate" class, but I'm missing it every time.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can better grab on to that class and set its visiblility to "none?"

Do you smell that, Chris? That's the aroma of charred dragon flesh!
We slayed the dragon, man!
Thanks!
Good stuff Bruce :)
Not sure whether that useful or not, but it seems to be the only way to go.
As it appears the Pagination is driven by a plug-in (several available by default), you could technically write your own (or at least clone and edit an existing one).
