Hi all, In my laravel 5.7 application I use "yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle": "~8.0" library and reading this https://m.datatables.net/forums/discussion/25666/how-to-customize-the-processing-message I modified processing message with style : .dataTables_processing { margin-top: -80px !important; padding: 70px !important; background: #F5F8FA !important; color: blue !important; border: 2px dotted darkgrey; border-radius: 3px !important; font-size: xx-large !important; opacity : 1 !important; text-decoration: none; } Code (CSS): and it works and I retrieve data on page open with empty data area. But I refresh data I do not see processing message : it is below(looks like middle of the data area). I tried to raise with adding to style above : vertical-align: top; vert-align: top; Code (CSS): But failed. The html-code of my data area is : <div class="table-responsive"> <div id="get-vote-dt-listing-table_wrapper" class="dataTables_wrapper no-footer"> <div id="get-vote-dt-listing-table_filter" class="dataTables_filter" style="display: none;"><label>Search:<input type="search" class="" placeholder="" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table"></label> </div> <div id="get-vote-dt-listing-table_processing" class="dataTables_processing" style="display: block;">Loading votes... </div> <table class="table table-bordered table-striped text-primary dataTable no-footer" id="get-vote-dt-listing-table" role="grid" aria-describedby="get-vote-dt-listing-table_info"> <thead> <tr role="row"> <th class="details-control sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 47px;">+ </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 59px;">Id </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 106px;">Name </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 113px;">Status </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 125px;">Is Quiz </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 219px;">Vote Category </th> <th class="sorting" tabindex="0" aria-controls="get-vote-dt-listing-table" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 178px;">Created At </th> <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 28px;"></th> <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 29px;"></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody></tbody> </table> <div class="dataTables_info" id="get-vote-dt-listing-table_info" role="status" aria-live="polite" style="display: none;"></div> <div class="dataTables_paginate paging_simple_numbers" id="get-vote-dt-listing-table_paginate"></div> </div> </div> HTML: 1) Which is right way with style modifications? 2) If laravel-datatables-oracle has method to clear data area rows before data retrieving ? I think that could be helpfull... Here is live example at http://demo2.nilov-sergey-demo-apps.tk/login It is under credentials 111111 after that SITE/admin/box-rooms url on uploading page message is visible within 1-2 seconds If in filter field “Enter Box Room No.” enter value “001” and click “Search” I added 30 seconds delay for debugging in browser. You need to scroll down to see processing message... Thanks!
