Preamble

Like all DataTables control elements, TableTools can have multiple instances specified in the sDom parameter of DataTables. This will create two TableTools toolbars next to the table, providing the same functions. An example of when this might be useful is to show the toolbar both above and below the table - as is done in this example.

Live example

Initialisation code

$(document).ready( function () {
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		"sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip<"clear spacer">T'
	} );
} );
