jQWidgets jqxDataTable autoShowLoadElement Property

Last Updated : 17 Aug, 2022

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDataTable is used for reading and displaying the data from the HTML Table. This is also used to display data from various data sources like XML, JSON, Array, CSV, or TSV.

The autoShowLoadElement property is used to set or return if the HTML element which is to be loaded along with dynamic gif is revealed spontaneously with the help of the widget throughout the process of the data binding. It is of boolean type and its default value is “true”.

Syntax:

Set the autoShowLoadElement property.

$('Selector').jqxDataTable({ autoShowLoadElement: false });

Return the autoShowLoadElement property.

var autoShowLoadElement = 
    $('Selector').jqxDataTable('autoShowLoadElement');
