Change values of select box of “show 10 entries” of jquery datatable

Question

By default, jquery datatable shows 10 by default and has

options : 10,25,50,100

How can I change these options?

Answer 1

According to datatables.net the proper way to do this is adding the lengthMenu property with an array of values.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable( {
        "lengthMenu": [[10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"]]
    } );
} );
