# Table Length not working on initial load

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I thought I’d let you know that the table length function that comes with the
   DataTables Javascript Library isn’t working properly. On initial load of the 
   webpage, TablePress shows all rows even if you indicate otherwise. When you change
   the table length option via “Show x entries”, the table length function suddenly
   works. However, if you refresh it or open it again on a different tab/browser,
   it stops functioning again.
 * I uploaded an older Javascript Library (2013 version) and the table length function
   works fine with it. I am no JS expert, but I guess there’s a bug in the most 
   recent file.
 * Here’s our website: [http://sustainabilitynetwork.ca/events/](http://sustainabilitynetwork.ca/events/)
 * Cheers.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This could be related to the jQuery Updater plugin that you are using.
    Could
   you temporarily turn that off, so that the browser will load the jQuery version
   that ships with WordPress?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * That did the trick. Thanks so much.
 * I just wanted to say you created a fantastic plugin but what I am most impressed
   with is the after sales (or in your case, after donation) service that you provide.
   You are the only plugin author I know who takes the time out to address all the
   queries posted on wordpress.
 * The plugin is great, but the author is amazing!
 * Cheers.

    Tobias
