DataTable : How to hide the pagination and only show it as need?

Question

I have 2 tables that are using DataTable jQuery Plug-in. I wondering if there is a way to hide my pagination on the bottom right of my table.

Answer 1

You can use fnDrawCallback() method to hide the pagination in dataTable.

var oTable = $('#datatable_sample').dataTable({
    "iDisplayLength": 10,    
    "fnDrawCallback": function(oSettings) {
        if ($('#datatable_sample tr').length < 10) {
            $('.dataTables_paginate').hide();
        }
    }
});​

The length which you can define as per the row you want to display in the listing.
