    I am noticing this pattern on my tables.I have save as ‘csv’ ,’pdf’ and ‘print’ option for each table..on some of the pages all three works but in most pages only ‘print’ option works..what am i missing?Code is same for all.
    For example : on this page
    https://www.sprachfest.org/group/
    All three options work for ‘DUETS’ tab but for other tabs (puppets,music,skit) etc. only PRINT works ,save to ‘csv an pdf’ option does not work

    this is the code i have for SKIT tab.I have also have ‘Use Data Tables box checked in .
    [table id=Skit1 datatables_tabletools="true"/][table id=skit2 datatables_tabletools="true" /][table id=skit3 datatables_tabletools="true"/][table id=skit4 datatables_tabletools="true" /]

    What is causing this inconsistent behavior?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this is most likely the tabs. Those influence the DOM (“Document Object Model”) of the elements on a page in the browser. As the tabs use JavaScript, and as the DataTables TableTools script uses JavaScript as well as Flash, there’s likely some kind of interference here.
    Unfortunately, as I’m not the developer of that JS library, I’m not familiar with the internals of this and don’t know what exactly might be causing this. I can only suggest that you ask the developer of the TableTools script about this, at https://www.datatables.net/

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    that’s good, I hope they know a solution.

    I’m not aware of another solution for export/saving/printing, unfortunately. You could maybe create those files manually and then just offer them for download…

    Tobias
