jquery datatables change td class for empty table

Question

I'm using jquery datatables plugin. ( https://datatables.net/ ) I wanna know if there's a way to change the TD class when the tables is empty. From what I saw when there are no rows in table datatables inserts a row with a TD with class dataTables_empty . Is there way to change *dataTables_empty* to *myDataTables_empty* ?

I'm using fnRowCallback to change other rows classes... but it seems that this is not working for the auto inserted row when the table is empty.

Answer 1

you could change it using jQuery quite easily.

in your (document).ready handler...

$('.dataTables_empty').removeClass('dataTables_empty').addClass('myDataTables_empty');

Alternatively you could just use the default class name and override it in your CSS.

Otherwise, take a look at the datatables doco ...
