Preamble

TableTools provides the ability to override the default initialisation parameters that are used when creating a new instance. This this particularly useful if you have multiple tables which you want to have the same TableTools behaviour - rather than declaring the structure multiple times, you can just set the defaults once. This example shows how to alter the default buttons.

Live example

Initialisation code

$(document).ready( function () {
	TableTools.DEFAULTS.aButtons = [ "copy", "csv", "xls" ];
	
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		"sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip'
	} );
} );
