Footer

I was curious if you have the code for figure 22 in the dataTabe documentaion. I am having problems rendering one column in the footer that contains links.

In order to put a link inside a dataTable's footer, you have to do something like that:

 <e:dataTd  ....  >
         <f:facet name="footer">
             <h:outputLink value="datatable.jsf">     
                      <f:verbatim>DataTable</f:verbatim>
             </h:outputLink>
         </f:facet>
 </e:dataTd>

Or, you can choose to replace h:outputLink with ECruiser e:link :

  <e:link  value="DataTable" ajax="true" ..... />

Thanks. My problem set is that the datatable is to large for paging to be effective. So we are trying only rendering rows based on the starting character. What we would like to do is span the columns in the footer to contain one column with A, B, C... outputlinks/commandlinks. Every time I use the example below I get one column for each header column but the example seems to show the columns spaned with 2 command buttons. Is this is the same issue as the header grouping forum notes?

Currently, we don't support this behavior on dataTable (same issue as the header grouping forum notes). In figure 22 from dataTable guide it's just an illusion. As an alternative, you could use a facet for bottomPagination, and implement your custom links in a backing bean.
