JQuery Datatables: Show/Hide controls

gistfile1.txt

Tested on: Databables 1.8.2


Datatables comes with controls for filtering and pagination.  These can be shown and hidden in a couple of ways (all examples in coffeescript):

Way 1 

    $("#myTable").dataTable
      "bPaginate": false,  #hide pagination control
      "bFilter": false     #hide filter control

Way 2:  Use the "sDom" prop

    $("#myTable").dataTable
      "aaData": data
      "sDom": 'ft'

Here 'f' means filter and 't' means table, so only show those.  Order matters: 'ft' puts 
the filter on top, whereas 'tf' will put it on bottom.
