    Please post in a suitable thread (i.e. a new one) rather than hijacking another thread.

    Excuse me, I was mistaken a thread!

    I want to hide table heading if it is not found any record. How it to make? Thanks!

    You could use fnDrawCallback to run a function on each draw. With that function, you can query the DOM to see if there are any rows in the table and if not set display:none on the thead.

    Thanks Allan!

    My code:
    [code]
    "fnDrawCallback": function() {
    if (this.fnSettings().fnRecordsDisplay()==0) $('#table_1 thead').hide();
    else $('#table_1 thead').show();
    }
    [/code]
    Working!

    I found if the thead is hide, the PDF generated by TableTools will lose its table format and its content is illegible. The data overlaps each other.
