 * Hi team,
 * first of all, it’s a great product that you have developed!
 * I’m wondering if it is possible to display a message before a table has finished
   loading.
 * Currently I have activated the checkbox “Hide the table before it is fully loaded”
   and I’d like to show a message in the empty space of the table something like“
   Please wait…fetching data”.
 * Is that possible?
 * Thank you!

 * Hello there.
 * Thank you for reaching out to us, and thank you for your kind words.
 * At the moment, it’s not possible to include a text message like this, but please
   feel free to add it as a feature suggestion on [this page](https://features.wpdatatables.com/).
 * Kind regards
