Is there a way for the data tables length menu to not count collapsed rows? I need the hidden rows to be included in my table in the background but I don't want the customers getting confused by the "show 10 entries" menu when they see 1 row on their end because I have 9 hidden rows
for example here http://live.datatables.net/hufojaki/1/edit
I have the other rows visibility set to "collapse" because I don't want users to see those rows, however, I do still need those row data so that when I export the table to excel or pdf, those data would still be included. but the pagination and the length menu are getting messed up because of this.
What would be a workaround for this so that the length menu would only count the rows the users need to see?
