You can tell Responsive what columns to want to be visible on different devices through the use of class names on the columns. The breakpoints are horizontal + screen resolutions and the defaults are set for common devices:
+ +desktop x >= 1024pxtablet-l (landscape) 768 <= x < 1024tablet-p (portrait) 480 <= x < 768mobile-l (landscape) 320 <= x < 480mobile-p (portrait) x < 320You may leave the -[lp] option from the end if you wish to just target all tablet or mobile devices. Additionally to may add min-,
+ max- or not- as a prefix to the class name to perform logic operations. For example not-mobile would cause a column to
+ appear as visible on desktop and tablet devices, while min-tablet-l would require at least a horizontal width of 768 for the browser window to be
+ shown, and be shown at all sizes larger.
Additionally, there are three special class names:
+ +all - Always displaynone - Don't display as a column, but show in the child rownever - Never displaycontrol - Used for the column responsive.details.typeR option.Please refer to the Responsive manual for further details of these options.
+ +This example shows the salary column visible on a desktop only - office and age require a tablet, while the
+ position column requires a phone in landscape or larger. The name column is always visible and the start date is never
+ visible.
This can be useful if you wish to change the format of the data shown on different devices, for example using a combination of mobile and
+ not-mobile on two different columns would allow information to be formatted suitable for each device type.
| Name | +Position | +Office | +Age | +Start date | +Salary | +Extn. | +
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | +Position | +Office | +Age | +Start date | +Salary | +Extn. | +
The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
$(document).ready(function() {
+ $('#example').DataTable( {
+ "ajax": "../../../../examples/ajax/data/objects.txt",
+ "columns": [
+ { "data": "name" },
+ { "data": "position" },
+ { "data": "office" },
+ { "data": "age" },
+ { "data": "start_date" },
+ { "data": "salary" },
+ { "data": "extn" }
+ ]
+ } );
+} );
+
+ In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:

+ + +This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is + loaded.
+The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side + processing scripts can be written in any language, using the protocol described in the DataTables + documentation.
