Question

Show entries dropdown disappear when using export tools

$(document).ready(function() {     $('#example').DataTable( {         dom: 'Bfrtip', // if you remove this line you will see the show entries dropdown         buttons: [             'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'         ]     } ); });

You just lack the l flag in dom. l for "length changing input control".

dom: 'lBfrtip' 

will make the dropdown to reappear.
